Apr 27 | Men's Lacrosse
PISCATAWAY, N.J. - After a career game on Friday night, Rutgers men's lacrosse sophomore attacker Jules Heningburg was named Offensive Player of the Week by USILA. Henninburg had a career-high six goals and added a pair of assists for a career-high eight points.
With the game tied at 13-13 in the fourth quarter, Heningburg scored a highlight-reel goal to give the Scarlet Knights their first lead of the day. RU would not relinquish that lead in a 15-14 victory.
On the season, Heningburg leads the team with 37 goals and is second with 54 points. In the Big Ten overall statistics, he is first in goals and second in points. In conference play alone (four games), Heningburg has 17 goals and 24 points, easily pacing the league.
Heningburg's six goals ties for the most in a single game by a Big Ten player this season. His eight points were the second most by any B1G player behind teammate Scott Bieda.
Heningburg was also named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week. He has earned that recognition three times this season.
The last Rutgers player to earn a national weekly award from the USILA was Zack Sikora, who was Defensive Player of the Week last season on April 29 after seven ground balls and two points in a 17-10 win over No. 10 Ohio State. This season, Scott Bieda was named Offensive Player by the NCAA after totaling nine points in the season opener against St. John's.
