Bohney, Russell Sweep Heart Honors

Oskaloosa–Kenny Bohney (Sr., Moorhead, Minn., Exercise Science) and Connor Russell (Sr., Grand Haven, Mich., Applied Computer Science) partnered up to lead the Statesmen to a fairly successful road trip, and for their efforts they were named Heart of America Athletic Conference Men’s Lacrosse Players of the Week Monday, presented by Tarkett Sports.

Bohney was tabbed as the Offensive POW, while Russell earned the Defensive POW nod. The awards are the first for both individuals. They helped William Penn to a 1-1 week in Tennessee, including a win over Tennessee Wesleyan, a squad receiving national votes.

Bohney started his week with seven goals and three assists in an overtime loss to No. 8 Webber International last Friday. He converted on 60% of his 15 shot attempts, while also notching five ground balls and one caused turnover.

The senior then managed another stellar outing against TWU last Saturday, finishing with five goals, two assists, and three ground balls.

For the year, the senior has 14 goals (on 28 total shots) with 10 assists. He has also tallied nine ground balls and one caused turnover.

Russell posted 16 saves on 29 shots on goal faced against Webber International. He then came up with 18 saves (29 shots on goal) in his team’s triumph over Tennessee Wesleyan. The senior was credited with one ground ball as well.

For the year, Russell is 2-1 with a 10.35 Goals Against Average. He has stopped 36 shots for a .600 save percentage.

The awards are the second and third for WPU this season.
