UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Senior defenseman Alex Ross and freshman attackman Jack Iannantuono of No. 14 Penn State men’s lacrosse helped guide the Nittany Lions to a 17-7 win over the visiting Yale Bulldogs this past weekend. Ross’s lockdown defense earned him a nod on the USILA Team of the Week, and Iannantuono’s offensive numbers warranted a Freshman of the Week nod from the Big Ten Conference offices.
Ross scooped a season-high four groundballs and matched his career-high caused turnovers with three. To date, the Davidsonville, Maryland native totals nine caused turnovers so far this season. The senior led a defense that held Yale to its second fewest goals scored this season at seven.
Iannantuono posted a career-best six points to lead the Penn State offense to a ten-goal victory over a Yale team that was first-team-out of the polls last week. His six points match the most by any Penn Stater so far this season. The Pheonix, Maryland native averages the seventh-most assists per game on any freshman in the country.
UP NEXT
Ross, Iannantuono, and the rest of the Nittany Lions will gear up for a weekend matinee against No. 7 Cornell on Saturday, March 7. Faceoff is set for 1 p.m. and the action will be streamed live on B1G+.
