COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – For the second time this season, Colorado State University Pueblo graduate student goalie
Ethan Ferrie (Littleton, Colo./Arapahoe) has been named this week's Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Men's Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Week as announced by the league office on Monday afternoon.
It marks the second this season and fourth time in the last two seasons that Ferrie has been honored by the league as the Men's Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Week as he was recognized earlier this season on Feb. 15. He was also recognized twice during the 2022 season.
Ferrie, who was named the RMAC Co-Goalie of the Year last season, earns this week's RMAC Defensive Player of the Week accolade after recording a school record 24 saves in this past Saturday's game at Maryville (Mo.) University. In the game at the Saints, Ferrie allowed 12 goals and recorded 24 saves and also had four ground balls and scored a goal in the Pack's 12-5 setback. The 24 saves bettered the old single game school mark of 23, which was set by Nick Richards at Lindenwood (Mo.) University on March 20, 2018.
On the season, Ferrie has played in all six games in the cage for the Pack and has recorded 91 saves and allowed 88 goals in nearly 328 minutes this season. His 16.13 goals allowed average is fourth in the league, while his 15.00 saves per game is tops in the RMAC and ninth-best in NCAA Division II men's lacrosse. Ferrie is in his fifth season with the Pack and in his five seasons, he is second in career saves with 442 and is the school's all-time leader in save percentage at 52.2 percent.
In addition to Ferrie, the league named Colorado Mesa redshirt junior attacker Jed Brummett as the RMAC Offensive Player of the Week. Brummett earns his third Offensive Player of the Week accolade this season after recording five goals in Mesa's 20-14 win last weekend over 20th-ranked Florida Tech. Four of Brummett's goals came within the first half to put the Mavericks up 11-8 going into halftime. The redshirt junior was efficient with five goals on six shots on goal for an 83-percent shooting average in the win against the Panthers. He currently leads the RMAC in both points (33) and goals (32) this season.
Ferrie and the Pack (0-6 on the season) return to action tonight (March 20) as they play a 6 p.m. CT game in Quincy, Ill., against Quincy University.
