BALTIMORE, Md. - UIndy attacker
Drew Billig was named the USA Lacrosse Magazine Division II National Player of the Week, announced Tuesday.
The Brighton, Mich., native recorded four points on three goals and one assist in the Greyhounds'
9-6 win at No. 2 Mercyhurst last Saturday.
Per USA Lacrosse Magazine:
Sure, it's just a hat trick and a helper, but when the final score is 9-6 and you have a hand in almost all of the goals in the second half against Mercyhurst, one of the best teams in the nation, you should be recognized for that effort. UIndy outscored Mercyhurst 5-1 in the second half, and the win propelled the Greyhounds into the
top three of the Nike/USA Lacrosse Top 20.
Billig now has 46 points this season on 18 goals and 28 assists. The Brighton, Michigan, native is averaging 6.5 points per game, behind only Wingate's Willie Grieco.
