Albany, N.Y. – University at Albany’s Brian Caufield has been named Lax.com’s Division I Rookie of the Week in men’s lacrosse as announced on Monday, April 7. Caufield also earned the America East Conference’s weekly rookie award as he accounted for eight goals and four assists in two victories.

Caufield, a freshman from Bay Shore, N.Y., exploded for career-highs in (7) and points (9), all in the first half, in last Saturday’s 14-11 conference triumph over Hartford. His totals were just off Merrick Thomson’s single-game freshman records of eight goals and 11 points that were established in 2004. Caufield added one goal and two assists in a 13-6 decision against crosstown-rival Siena on April 2.

Caufield, who has three or more points in four of his last five starts, is second on the team in scoring with 10 goals and eight assists.
