Central Islip, NY – (2/28/2011) – Freshman attack Mike Melnychenko (St. Catherines, Ontario) was recognized by the East Coast Conference (ECC) as the league’s Rookie of the Week after leading the Griffins with a seven-point debut week. Melnychenko recorded two goals and two assists in the season opener against Lees-McRae College, before recording three tallies in the Griffins ECC affair with the defending national champions, C.W. Post.

Lees McRae College (0-2) made a third quarter run at Chestnut Hill College (1-1, 0-1) in their neutral-site game on February 19. The Bobcats narrowed an 8-2 Griffin advantage to an 8-5 deficit with three consecutive scores. Fortunately, a Melnychenko tally stopped the bleeding with two seconds left in the period, 9-5, and Griffins went on to a 12-5 victory with three unanswered, fourth-quarter goals. Melnychenko recorded two goals and two assists in addition to collecting, a team-high, seven ground balls. A week later, the Griffins opened their ECC schedule with a trip to C.W. Post (4-0, 1-0). Melnychenko recorded a goal in each of the first, two quarters and added a third in the fourth quarter to lead the Griffins in the 13-7 loss. He also collected three ground balls.
 
The men’s lacrosse team returns to campus to host Mercy College in their home opener on Saturday, March 5. The ECC affair is schedule for a 1:00 p.m. opening faceoff.
