Onondaga Community College

Matt Bennett (Lafayette/Nedrow) of the top-ranked men’s lacrosse team has been named the College’s Male Athlete of the Week after helping the Lazers pick up two more wins last week including their 97th straight decision which tied the NJCAA’s all-time record for consecutive wins across all sports.

Bennett tallied 12 points in two games last week as the Lazers topped SUNY Broome before handling Bridgton Academy on Saturday.

Against the hornets, Bennett tallied four points on two goals and two assists before scoring a career-high six goals along with two helpers in a 30-2 rout of the Wolverines.

Bennett did more than score, however, as the freshman attackman scooped up six groundballs and caused four turnovers in all.

For the season, Bennett has amassed 37 points on 17 goals and 20 dimes.

Bennett and the rest of the Lazers will return to action at 4 p.m. on Monday against Mohawk Valley when they try to break the NJCAA’s all-time record for consecutive wins.
