WASHINGTON – Georgetown University's
James Reilly earned a spot on the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association National Team of the Week, as announced by the organization on Tuesday. Reilly led the Hoyas to their first BIG EAST win of the season, a resounding 13-6 home victory against then-No. 13/16 Denver.
Reilly won 15 of 22 (.681) faceoffs in a battle against Denver's Alec Stathakis while collecting nine ground balls. He added a goal and an assist. Reilly reached 800 career faceoff wins, becoming just the 13th NCAA Division I player to reach the milestone.
Reilly also earned a nod on the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll for his efforts.
Next up for Georgetown, the 10th-ranked Hoyas remain on the Hilltop to close out a five-game homestand, hosting Providence on Saturday, April 8 at noon on Senior Day.
