Following their season-opening 15-9 victory against Colgate, the University at Albany men’s lacrosse team landed two America East Players of the Week.

Jakob Patterson was named Offensive Player and goalie Liam Donnelly was named Defensive Player.

Patterson, a graduate attack, had four goals and four assists to lead all scorers against the Raiders. His fourth goal of the game, coming with 6:47 remaining in the fourth quarter off a setup from Logan Tucker, was the 100th of his career.

Patterson is the ninth player in UAlbany’s Division I era to reach the milestone.

Donnelly made his first start for the Great Danes on Saturday after transferring from Utah. He made 10 saves, including six in the second quarter.

UAlbany will begin America East play at Hartford at noon on March 6.
