HAVERFORD, Pa. - The Haverford College men's lacrosse team has received two Centennial Conference awards following their memorable win over No. 19 Ursinus on Saturday. Sophomore attacker Matt Richards has been named the Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Week, while sophomore goalkeeper Jacob Abraham has been named the Centennial Conference Defensive Player of the Week.

Richards, of Middletown, R.I. played a crucial role in Haverford's 14-9 win over Ursinus, scoring five goals and providing an assist. Four of his five goals came in the second half of the game when Haverford secured its first ranked win since the 2019 season. This was a massive achievement for the team and has certainly given them a boost of confidence as they look ahead to the rest of the season.
