LOUISVILLE, Ky. --- Tusculum University senior attack Nate Raymond has been selected to the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association Division II Team of the Week for the week ending Feb. 13, the USILA announced Tuesday.
Raymond scored 10 goals and had five assists for 15 points as the Pioneers improved to 3-0 with wins over Shorter and Chowan last week. Raymond finished with four goals and two assists for six points along with four ground balls in an 18-2 win over Shorter last Tuesday night, then set career highs with six goals and nine points in the Pioneers' 20-15 win over Chowan on Saturday. The six goals and nine points by Raymond were each one shy of the program single-game record.
The Traceys Landing, Maryland native shares the team lead in goals with 13, which is tied for second in the South Atlantic Conference, and is second in the conference in points with 20. Nationally, Raymond is tied for sixth in Division II with 4.33 goals per game and is seventh in points per game at 6.67 per contest. Raymond has moved into eighth place on the Tusculum career goals list with 54, and is up to ninth all-time in points with 72.
A total of 10 players from across Division II are selected to the USILA Team of the Week each week during the season. Raymond is the first Tusculum player to earn the honor since AJ Hems in 2020.
The Pioneers (3-0) host Lees-McRae on Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Pioneer Field.
