ITHACA, N.Y. – For the second time this season, Clarke Petterson has been named the Ivy League Player of the Week, as was announced this afternoon by the conference office. The award is the fourth of the season for the Big Red men's lacrosse team, and is the fourth conference honor of Petterson's career, as he was named Rookie of the Week twice during the 2016 season. Petterson shares the honor this week with Yale's TD Ierlan.
 
A senior attackman from Toronto, Petterson was outstanding on Saturday vs. Harvard, scoring five goals on just five shots, including the 100th tally of his career. He also chipped in two assists for a seven-point day to go along with one ground ball and one caused turnover.
