BALTIMORE, Md. - Villanova midfielder Max Hart (Bethesda, Md.) has earned Nike Division I Player of the Week honors for March 13 for his late-game heroics in a dramatic win against Penn.

Hart had the game-tying and game-winning goals in the Wildcats' 8-7 win on Saturday, March 10th -- in dramatic fashion.

The junior midfielder scored from about 30 yards out with 1 second remaining to cap a comeback and beat the Quakers. Just over a minute earlier, he scored the game-tying goal.

No. 14 Villanova will begin BIG EAST Conference play on Sunday, March 25th when they face No. 9 Syracuse at 2 p.m. in the Carrier Dome.
