Charlie Foster - CACC Defensive Player of the Week - Men's Lacrosse

Foster finished the trip going 10-for-21, hitting .476 overall with four doubles and seven RBIs while also having six runs scored, two walks, and a stolen base as the Post offense scored a combined 30 runs in less than 24 hours with their final two wins against the Owls and Saints.
