FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - Piedmont men's lacrosse freshman Cole Carson has been named the USA South Athletic Conference Rookie of the Week, announced Monday afternoon.

The freshman from Pineville, North Carolina had a huge offensive and defensive game in a Piedmont rout at Brevard this past week. 


 


Carson delivered a career-high four goals, which led the team. He also picked up four ground balls, which tied for the team best, while also causing seven turnovers, easily a career high and the highest number from a Lion this season.

This marks the second different Lion this season to earn top rookie honors from the conference, joining Evan Bingham.

Up next, Carson and the Lions will be back in action with a pair of games this week, starting with a road contest at Huntingdon scheduled for this Wednesday, April 15 at 7 p.m. (EDT).
