ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 12-ranked University of Michigan men's lacrosse team will travel to the Paradise Coast Sports Complex in Naples, Fla., to take on the Marquette Golden Eagles in the Southwest Florida Shootout on Saturday (Feb. 24) at 7 p.m.
Notes
• The Wolverines enter the week ranked No. 12 in the Inside Lacrosse Media poll and No. 13 in the USILA Coaches Poll.
• The Michigan attack unit of senior Michael Boehm (9g, 8a), junior Ryan Cohen (5g, 8a) and graduate student Justin Tiernan (13g, 1a) all boast 13-plus points heading into the week. The midfield output is led by sophomore Bo Lockwood with a team-leading 11 assists.
• Boehm enters the contest with 189 career points and is 11 away from becoming the second Wolverine to reach 200 points in a career (108g, 81a).
• With five markers against Hobart (Feb. 17), Tiernan extended his scoring streak to 15 games with at least one goal. The run dates back to his time at Lehigh before arriving at U-M. Cohen leads the team with an active point streak of 34 contests.
• In last week's two-game stretch, Lockwood totaled eight assists. Against the Golden Griffins (Feb. 13), he ripped off five helpers, the second most in a single game in program history. He followed the effort against Hobart (Feb. 17) with a trio.
• U-M is averaging 12.50 assists per contest to rank No. 3 nationally in the category and fifth overall in shooting percentage (39 percent).
• In total, 20 Wolverines have made their U-M debut on the season. Against Canisius (Feb. 13), a program-record 51 student-athletes saw game action.
• Graduate defender Cathal Roberts is averaging 3.50 caused turnovers per contest, ranking fourth nationally -- leading all Big Ten players in the category.
• Cohen is the lone Sunshine State native on the team. He hails from Boca Raton.
• Michigan leads the all-time series, 3-2, but fell last season against the Golden Eagles, 14-9, in the Southwest Florida Shootout. U-M never led in the contest, while Aidan Mulholland and Cohen scored two goals apiece.
