PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Syracuse junior Matt Harris was named the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Week, and senior JoJo Marasco was picked to the conference's weekly honor roll on Monday, April 22.
Â
Harris registered four ground balls and four caused turnovers in the Orange's 9-8 win at Georgetown on April 20. He helped anchor an SU defense that allowed just one Hoya goal during a 37:05 stretch that encompassed most of the second half. In addition, Harris collected two ground balls versus Hobart on April 16 and led an Orange unit that did not give up a goal to any of Hobart's three starting midfielders.
Â
Marasco tallied three goals and three assists in the two games. He leads the Orange in points (46) and assists (30). Marasco is tied with Brad Kotz (1984) for the second-most assists by a Syracuse midfielder in one season. Paul Gait holds the record with 34 in 1990.
Â
Notre Dame attackman John Scioscia was named the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week after recording four goals and one assist in a 13-9 win against Villanova Saturday.
Â
Sean Wright (Providence), Colin Keegan (St. John's), John LoCascio (Villanova) and Jack Rice (Villanova) joined Marasco on this week's honor roll.
Â
Syracuse concludes the regular season Saturday, April 27 against Notre Dame in the 2013 Konica Minolta Big City Classic at MetLife Stadium. Faceoff is slated for 6:30 p.m. on ESPNU.
