INDIANAPOLIS – No. 3 nationally-ranked Seton Hill had an impressive spring debut to earn the sweep of Great Midwest Athletic Conference Men’s Lacrosse Players of the Week as announced on Tuesday.

Seton Hill moved past Mercyhurst in this week’s USILA Poll, just switching spots with the Lakers, who have yet to make their season debut. Wheeling scored a non-conference win over Felician while Lake Erie opened the year against Georgian Court.
