UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association named Penn State men’s lacrosse senior Matt Traynor to their Team of the Week as the association announced on Wednesday. This is Traynor’s third time on the USILA Team of the Week in his career.
Traynor stood out in the men's lacrosse team's season opener on Saturday, February 1 against Colgate. He tallied five goals and two assists for the Nittany Lions, which led the team. It's just the second time in his career he has tallied seven points or more in a single game.
The last time he hit that mark was against Cornell in the 2024 season, where he registered eight points on March 9, 2024. Traynor sits one point away from 100 career points following his seven-point outing as he stands with 99 on 83 goals and 16 assists.
Penn State returns to action on Sunday, February 9, when they travel to face Villanova. The game starts at noon.
