Chase Izyk of the men’s lacrosse team was named the Oswego State Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending April 9.

On Saturday in a conference matchup against Geneseo, the senior won 11-of-13 face-offs including some crucial ones late in the game. Down two goals, Iyzk won three-straight face-offs helping the Lakers score two goals and force overtime.

At the start of the extra period, he won the face-off giving the Lakers the first possession and a chance to win the game.

During the game, the Oswego, N.Y. native also picked up a career-high nine ground balls.
