Otterbein University Athletics

Watson, a senior middie from Pickerington Central, gave a solid performance Saturday afternoon to help the men's lacrosse team earn a 12-4 victory at Thiel.

Watson corralled six ground balls and forced one turnover, but made his greatest impact as part of the team's man-down unit. Otterbein was able to successfully kill all 12 penalties throughout the game and limited the Tomcats to just four goals all afternoon.

In addition, Watson was a key part of the transition game in helping the Cardinals complete all 21 clear opportunities. As a result of his efforts, he was chosen as the Ohio Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Week.

Otterbein will play at Adrian Wednesday afternoon before hosting Albion Saturday at 1 p.m.
