MINNEAPOLIS— Lake Forest College's Bobby Ojascastro and the University of Dubuque's Ryan Doyle earned Midwest Lacrosse Conference (MLC) offensive and defensive player of the week honors, respectively, for events April 3-9, as selected by the league's head coaches.

Ojascastro (Senior; St. Louis, Mo.) scored six goals and added an assist in Saturday's 16-14 win over Dubuque. 

"Bobby was instrumental in our win over Dubuque as he scored six goals on eight shots," said head coach Phil Dodson.

Doyle (Sophomore; Brighton, Mich.) had 23 ground balls, 10 caused turnovers, and added a goal over the two games last week for the Spartans. Dubuque earned the first win in program history over Benedictine (Ill.) Monday, and had the narrow loss to the Foresters Saturday.  

"Ryan had a dominant week for us," said head coach Kasey Burst. "He had 10 ground balls, eight caused turnovers, and one goal against Benedictine, and then added 15 ground balls and two caused turnovers against Lake Forest."

This is the first career MLC honor for Ojascastro and seventh overall for Doyle, and third this season.

The MLC is comprised of NCAA Division III institutions located throughout the Midwest including Cornell (Mt. Vernon, Iowa), Dubuque (Dubuque, Iowa), Lake Forest (Lake Forest, Ill.), Monmouth (Monmouth, Ill.), Northland (Ashland, Wis.), and Northwestern (St. Paul, Minn.).
