RELEASE: ITHACA, NY– BRSN has named lacrosse attackman Clarke Petterson as this week’s Athlete of the Week. After a slow start saw the No. 3 Cornell men’s lacrosse team trailing No. 1 Towson by three goals, the Big Red closed the first and opened the second quarter with nine unanswered tallies, including five from Petterson, who finished with a career-high eight goals on the day, as the Big Red upset the Tiger, 18-11. The Toronto, Ontario native was also selected 12th overall by the Boston Cannons in this past weekend’s MLL Draft, to cap a memorable weekend along with becoming just the 10th player in Cornell history to score at least eight goals in a game. Cornell has now defeated the No. 1 team in the nation two seasons in a row after beating No. 1 Yale in the 2018 Ivy League Men’s Lacrosse Tournament. The Big Red opens Ivy League play when it travels to No. 4 Yale for a 1 p.m. contest on Saturday, March 16.
