Detroit Mercy's Jarembowski & Shamblin and St. Bonaventure's Dobson Win MAAC Men's Lacrosse Weekly Awards
Offensive Player of the Week
Alex Jarzembowski, Detroit Mercy
Jr., Livonia, MI/ Catholic Central
The preseason All-MAAC selection as faceoff specialist did not disappoint in the season-opening 9-8 win going 15-of-21 with five ground balls and also scoring his first two collegiate goals. He won 6-of-8 in the first quarter as the Titans stormed back from an early 3-1 deficit to knot it at 4-4 at the end of one and never looked back. His last goal off a scoop and score turned out to be the game-winning ninth marker of the contest.
Defensive Player of the Week
Logan Shamblin, Detroit Mercy
So., Washington Twp., MI/Troy
The second-year netminder was on his game tying his season high with 15 saves and picking up three ground balls in the 9-8 victory over Jacksonville. He allowed just eight goals, three coming in the first seven minutes of the contest and three in the final three minutes as he kept the Dolphins at bay as the Titans stormed back from an early deficit.
Rookie of the Week

Fr., Oshawa, Ontario/Hill Academy
Dobson made 23 saves on 36 SOG in collegiate debut Saturday at High Point on Saturday. The first-year Bonnie recorded a 64-percent save percentage and faced 62 shots against the Panthers.
