Gobrecht Earns ECAC Defensive Player of the Week
The Easter College Athletic Conference released its weekly awards for the week of March 23-29, honoring men's lacrosse junior Eli Gobrecht for his performance last week against St. John Fisher and, nationally ranked, Cabrini. Gobrecht was named Division III Mid-Atlantic Co-Defensive Player of the Week.
Gobrecht led the way for the Bombers in a 9-8 win over 11th-ranked Cabrini with a shut-down performance. Gobrecht had eight caused turnovers and three ground balls on the afternoon, and helped Ithaca's transition attack with clearing passes and rushes throughout the game. Gobrecht spent a majority of the game defending two-time Cabrini All-American attack Damian Sobieski who had just one assist and three shots in the game. Earlier in the week, in a 12-5 win over St. John Fisher, Gobrecht had six caused turnovers and five ground balls.
Ithaca plays Wednesday, April 1, at Cortland.
