BETHLEHEM, Pa. – For the fourth time this season, a Lehigh men's lacrosse player has been named to the USILA National Team of the Week. This Tuesday, it was sophomore Christian Mule' who received the honor following a career-high seven-goal and 10-point effort in Saturday's 18-12 win over Bucknell.
Mule' joins junior Mike Sisselberger (2X) and senior James Spence as Mountain Hawk honorees. Sisselberger was recognized twice in April while Spence was recognized in March following Lehigh's win over Loyola.
Mule' was named Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week on Monday. Entering the weekend, only 10 players in the nation had reached double-figure points in a game this season. Mule' was just one goal and two points from tying program records. His 10 points were the most by a Lehigh player since Dan Taylor had 10 on Feb. 14, 2015 at Furman. Mule' had seven first-half points (four goals, three assists), having a hand in 70 percent of the Mountain Hawks' first-half tallies. Included was a highlight-reel backhand shovel goal that went viral on the national lacrosse media outlets. Mule' also scored a big goal with 1.6 seconds left in the first half to put the Mountain Hawks ahead 10-7 at the half. For the season, Mule' owns 27 goals and 13 assists. He's had at least four points in each of his last five games.
Up to No. 5 in a pair of national polls, the Mountain Hawks return to action on Saturday when they travel to No. 16 Villanova to face the Wildcats. Gametime is set for 12 p.m.
