After a banner weekend, Brown's lacrosse teams cleaned up on the awards circuit.
On the men's side, goalie Jordan Burke '09 was named the Ivy League Player of the Week, New England Player of the Week and LAXnews National Collegiate Player of the Week for making 20 saves in a 9-8 victory over No. 13 UMass-Amherst on Saturday. Burke, a quad-captain, made five saves in the fourth quarter, including three in the final 27 seconds of the game to repel the Minutemen.
Burke leads the Ivy League with 12.6 saves per game and stands second with a .589 save percentage. Last season, he was named the Ivy League Player of the Year and selected as a second team All-American. He is a candidate for the 2009 Lowe's Senior CLASS Award for achievement both on and off the field.
Two Bears were named to the Ivy League Honor Roll. Midfielder Reade Seligmann '09 was recognized for recording his first career hat trick against the Minutemen, and midfielder Rob Schlesinger '12 scored the first two goals of his career - including the game winner.
For the women, attacker Jesse Nunn '09 was named the Ivy League Offensive Player of the Week for scoring four goals and adding an assist in a 12-8 victory over Harvard on Saturday. She added three ground balls, a draw control and caused a turnover in the Bears' first win over the Crimson since 2004.
Despite missing the two previous games due to injury, Nunn leads the Bears with 10 goals and two assists, four points higher than the next leading scorer.
Val Sherry '09 made the Ivy League Honor Roll for her defense. She caused three turnovers - a game high - and added three ground balls and a draw control. She clamped down on Harvard's second-highest scorer, Kaitlin Martin, who scored her only two goals of the game on free position shots.
Two Brown athletes were recognized for their seasons. Men's basketball center Matt Mullery '10, previously announced as a first team All-Ivy selection, was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches Division I All-District 13 Second Team.
Mullery blocked 59 shots to set a single-season school record. His career total of 115 blocked shots is second in school history to Alai Nuualiitia's '03 total of 119 established in 2003.
Mullery placed among the league leaders in several categories this season. He led the Ivy League in field goal percentage with .606, finished fourth in both scoring, and rebounding, with 16.1 per game and 6.5 per game, respectively, 15th in assists with 2.0 per game and seventh in minutes, with 33.1 per game.
Defenseman Jeff Buvinow '12 was named to the ECAC Hockey All-Rookie team. He had already been named to the All-Ivy Second Team after posting three goals and 14 assists to finish second on the team in scoring. His 17 points were the third-highest total in school history for a freshman defenseman.
