TRAFFORD, Pa. – A pair of Bethany College men's lacrosse players earned Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) weekly award honors for their performance during week 6 of the 2023 season.

Britton scored 10 goals and added three assists in the Bison's 2-0 week. In the shut-out victory over La Roche, he broke Bethany's single-game goals record with nine and added three assists for 12 points. In the 6-2 win over Anderson, he scored one goal, a man-up strike for Bethany's third goal of the game.
