ANNAPOLIS, Md. —  Navy men's lacrosse standout Carter Ash (Sr / A / Leesburg, Va.) has been named the Naval Academy Athletic Association Athlete of the Week presented by Northrop Grumman.

Ash played a pivotal role in leading Navy to a 14-11 victory over Bucknell last Friday night which in turn sealed the Mids' ticket into the Patriot League Tournament Quarterfinals. He scored a career-high 4 goals in the win, but none bigger than his goal with 9:25 remaining in the contest which sparked a 3-0 run by the Mids to close out the victory. In addition to the go-ahead goal, Ash also scored an insurance goal two minutes later before Mac Haley (Jr / A / Shady Side, Md.) polished off the Bison with a goal at 2:29.

Ash has enjoyed a fantastic senior season, as he stands fifth on the team in scoring with 28 points on a team-high 23 goals and 5 assists. He came into the season having scored 23 points in his first-three seasons combined.

The Midshipmen will travel to Easton, Pa. this evening to play the third-seeded Lafayette Leopards in the quarterfinals of the Patriot League Tournament. Faceoff is set for 7:30 pm and admission is free to all fans. The game will be streamed on ESPN+, while Joe Miller will have the call on 1430 AM WNAV.
