Kenyon senior face-off specialist Thomas Nelson (Minneapolis, MN/The Blake School) and Ohio Wesleyan senior defender Wes Silver (Newton, MA/Newton North) were named to the USILA Men's Lacrosse Team of the Week, announced Wednesday, February 19.

Nelson played a crucial role in the Owls' 10-7 win over Colorado College on Friday, as the senior went a perfect 16-for-16 at the faceoff x, providing key possessions for Kneyon. Nelson also collected a team-high 13 ground balls in the victory.

Silver helped hold Grove City to three goals during the middle two quarters as the Bishops outscored the Wolverines, 13-3, during that stretch to turn a 4-2 deficit into a 15-7 lead in an eventual 18-12 win. Silver led OWU with seven ground balls and shared the team lead with two caused turnovers in the contest.

Players earned recognition from the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association as they each posted exceptional performances in their programs games this past week.
