When you put up a big performance against a nationally ranked team, you are bound to receive some recognition.

After putting up a career-high seven points to lead the Quakers in a 14-9 upset victory over No.13/14 Duke, senior attackman Tim Schwalje was named Ivy League Co-Player of the Week.

Schwalje had three goals to go with a career-high four assists, while also having a hand in five of Penn’s final eight goals in their comeback victory. This was the senior's first time receiving the Ivy League Player of the Week award.

Goalkeeper Brian Feeney also received recognition from the Ancient Eight, as he was named to the Ivy League Honor Roll for his performance against Duke.

The junior had 15 saves against the Blue Devils, including six saves in the second period alone to keep the Quakers in the game.

The win against Duke moved men's lacrosse into the rankings this week, as the team placed No. 14 in the USILA national coaches poll and No. 15 in the Nike/Inside Lacrosse media poll.
