Haesler named MIAA Defensive Player of the Week for men’s lacrosse

FREELAND, Mich. – Olivet College senior Charlie Haesler has been named the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Defensive Player of the Week for men's lacrosse.

Haesler played a crucial role on the defense in leading the Comets to a 14-10 victory over Augustana (Ill.) College March 11 at the Cutler Athletic Complex in Olivet. He posted team-highs in ground balls (nine) and caused turnovers (four).

"Charlie has been one of the leaders on defense since I got to Olivet," said Head Coach Matt Holtz. "He plays at a speed which is faster than others at this level. We ask him to stop the biggest threat each and he responds!"

Olivet travels to play Muskingum (Ohio) University Saturday night at 7 p.m.
