Leopards of the Week Awarded to Munroe, Murray, and Men's Volleyball

BOSTON, Mass. – This week's Wentworth Institute of Technology Leopards of the Week have been awarded to men's lacrosse senior goalkeeper Jack Munroe (Mansfield, Mass.), sophomore attack Olivia Murray (Quincy, Mass.) of the women's lacrosse team, and the men's volleyball team.

Munroe started both games in goal for men's lacrosse, helping the team to a 1-1 record. The senior made 31 saves in the two games for a save percentage of 65, and had two caused turnovers. He stopped 74 percent of the shots he faced in an 11-8 victory over Salve Regina University Saturday, April 23. Munroe made 23 saves on 31 shots in the road win, helping the Leopards clinch a spot in the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Tournament.

Murray played in two games for the Leopards this week, as Wentworth went 1-1 and clinched a spot in the CCC Tournament. In a 17-12 victory over Gordon College April 19, the sophomore tied a career-high with six goals, while also contributing two assists, two ground balls, and a career-best 12 draw controls. For the week, she had seven goals, three assists, two ground balls, 15 draw controls, and 14 shots (10 on goal). The Leopards finish the regular season Wednesday, April 27 in a 4:00 p.m. home matchup with Endicott College.

Men's volleyball re-wrote the team's record books this season, setting the program record in wins (30), service aces (319), aces per set (2.66), and had the second-longest winning streak in team history (15). Wentworth won 32 consecutive sets from March 22 to April 16, while going undefeated at home (12-0), and tying for the highest ranking in program history (#4). The team won its third Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Championship and made the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time. For the second time in team history, the Leopards advanced to the NCAA Tournament Semifinal and had six All-Conference selections, three American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) All-Region selections, and one All-NCAA Tournament Team selection this season.
