Ohio State senior goalie Tom Carey helped lead the Buckeyes to big wins over Towson and Denver last week, allowing him to earn Epoch / US Lacrosse National Player of the Week honors.

On Wednesday, in frigid conditions, Carey made eight saves as the Buckeyes downed Towson 6-3. He followed that up with an 11-save performance while allowing just six goals in Ohio State's 16-7 win over Denver. The victories moved Ohio State to 9-0 for the season and into third place in this week's Nike/US Lacrosse national rankings.

Carey's 5.49 goals allowed average ranks second in the country and his 61.9 save percentage ranks fifth.
