HPU’s Lomas & Price sweep weekly SoCon MLAX awards

HIGH POINT, N.C. – High Point University men’s lacrosse seniors Dan Lomas and Zack Price have been named the Southern Conference’s Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, the league office announced on Tuesday.

Lomas tied a career high with six points by notching five goals and an assist in the Panthers’ 14-10 win over Jacksonville on Saturday. The senior racked up three first-half goals before scoring another early in the third quarter. JU fought back and tied the contest 7-all, but Lomas broke the tie with his fifth goal to spark a 6-0 run for the Panthers.

On the other side, Price provided a dominant performance with three caused turnovers and a career-high six ground balls in the victory. After the Dolphins equaled the score at 7-all, the HPU defense held JU scoreless for 19 minutes as the Panthers went on a 6-0 run.

The Purple & White will look to make it four straight wins on Saturday, April 23 when they visit Furman.
