SPARTANBURG, S.C. – High Point’s Michael LeClair and Air Force’s Doug Gouchoe have been named Southern Conference Men’s Lacrosse Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week, respectively, for all games played Feb. 23-29, the league office announced Tuesday. Selections are made by the conference office.

LeClair, a junior attacker, notched 11 points in a pair of Panthers wins. In a 12-11 overtime victory at No. 10 Virginia, the Elkridge, Md., native netted two goals and dished out two assists.
