NEW YORK – For the third consecutive week, three Men's Lacrosse players have earned BIG EAST Weekly Awards, the conference announced Monday.

Kemler was honored with his second Defensive Player of the Week award and third weekly honor in a row, thanks to forcing four turnovers and scooping up seven ground balls against Providence. Kemler has caused 10 caused turnovers and picked up 22 ground balls during Villanova's three-game winning streak. He leads Villanova in both statistics with 15 CTOs and 39 GBs on the season and ranks fourth in the BIG EAST in both as well.
