Centenary enters Sunday's match riding a two-game winning streak while Colorado College is coming off of a 19-14 win at Southwestern on Saturday.
Centenary defeated the Earlham College Quakers 11-7 on March 27 in Richmond, Ind. in its most recent game following a 12-11 victory the day before over the Anderson University Ravens, 12-11, in Anderson, Ind. Centenary led 6-1 at halftime and 8-4 entering the fourth quarter against Earlham. Each team scored three goals in the final period but the Gents were able to maintain their lead after a big first half to secure the victory. The Maroon and White scored 10 or more goals in a game for the fifth time in eight games and for the third game in a row.
The Gents swept the HCLC Player of the Week honors on March 29 following the two road wins, as sophomore M/A Jordan Cook (Bryant, Ark.) was named Offensive POW and Little was named Defensive POW.
Cook continued his impressive offensive season as he scored eight goals and added four assists for a total of 12 points. He totaled 18 ground balls and 11 caused turnovers in games against Kalamazoo, Anderson, and Earlham. Cook scored five goals against Anderson, and then had two goals and two assists versus Earlham. The sensational sophomore now has 18 goals, seven assists, 25 points, 27 ground balls, and 17 caused turnovers this season. Cook recorded his fourth multi-goal performance of the season and seventh of his young career.
Little had a fantastic week as he totaled 11 ground balls and nine caused turnovers. The seven goals the Gents allowed in Saturday's win is the fewest yielded by the Centenary defense all season. He has started all eight of Centenary's games this season and has recorded 23 ground balls and 16 caused turnovers.
Freshman A G'Colby Spivey (Dallas, Texas) and junior A John Mark Waniewski (Bossier City, La.) each scored four goals to lead the Gents' offense in the Earlham win and Cook added a pair. Spivey recorded his fourth multi-goal performance of the season and third in a row. He scored three goals in the win over Anderson and scored a season-high four against Kalamazoo on March 22. He took five shots, all on goal, and had four ground balls.
Waniewski scored a single-game season-high four goals and turned in his second multi-goal effort of the season. He finished with nine shots, six on goal, and had one ground ball. Cook, like Waniewski, finished with nine shots and six on goal, and had five ground balls and a team-best six caused turnovers. Freshman A Braxton Parchman (Shreveport, La.) had a team-high three assists and added two caused turnovers and a ground ball.
