Bradbury, DiPonio Named ASUN Players of the Week

ATLANTA – The University of Utah Lacrosse Team swept the ASUN weekly awards after its performance at Cleveland State with Tyler Bradbury being named Offensive Player of the Week and Nikko DiPonio earning Defensive Player of the Week.

DiPonio, a sophomore from Bloomfield Hills, Mich., earned his first defensive player of the week honor after recording a career-high and school record six caused turnovers along with nine ground balls. Bradbury, a senior out of Oak Park, Calif., claimed his fourth player of the week recognition with his career-high tying eight points (4 goals, 4 assists).

Bradbury's eight total points against Cleveland State pushed him over the 200 career points mark, becoming the first in school history to achieve the number. This season he is averaging 1.92 assists per game, which is tied for first in the ASUN.
