CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the second time this season, Harvard men's lacrosse has swept the Ivy League's weekly awards.
Teddy Malone and
Graham Stevens were named the league's offensive and defensive players of the week after leading the team to a victory over No. 16 Penn over the weekend. Malone poured in five goals and Stevens made 16 saves in cage to earn the honors, which were the second awards of the season for the duo.
The league's offensive player of the week,
Teddy Malone scored a game-high five goals against Penn this weekend to fuel the offensive effort. The Delaware fueled the offense in his return to the tri-state area while helping the team secure its first win at Penn in 20 years. The output was Malone's fifth multi-goal game of the season and second game with at least five goals. The senior attack now owns 98 career goals and is just two away from eclipsing the 100 career goals mark, which would put him at No. 10 in program history. Malone has now scored 3.50 goals per game, the best clip in the Ivy League and the sixth best mark nationally.
Graham Stevens earned his second weekly award of the seasonafter locking down the cage against the Quakers on Saturday. The New Jersey native made 16 saves while allowing just nine goals and grabbed three ground balls in Harvard's sixth straight victory. The creaseminder made seven saves in a shot-heavy second quarter and allowed just one shot to cross the line in the final quarter to hold off a Quaker comeback bid. Stevens now owns a .600 save percentage and a 8.46 GAA on the year which puts him in 4
th and 10
th in the NCAA, respectively.
The win over No. 16 Penn boosted the Crimson to 6-0 on the year and 1-0 in Ivy League play, the best start to a season since the 2024 – and previously the 1990 – season. The fourth-ranked Crimson will return to action this Friday (Mar. 20) when it hosts the Dartmouth Big Green under the lights at Jordan Field. First faceoff is set for 7:00 PM with all the action set to air live on ESPN+.
