HENNIKER, N.H. – New England College junior midfielder Daniel Varga (Hampton, N.J.) of the NEC men's lacrosse team was named to the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) Division III Team of the Week in a release by the USILA this week.

Varga had arguably his best week of the season as the Pilgrims swept a pair of conference matchups to extend their winning streak to three games. On Tuesday, Varga accounted for half of the team's 14 goals against Norwich, scoring seven times and making four assists for an 11-point showing in the win. On Saturday, after being recognized during senior day, Varga scored a career-high nine goals as part of a 22-3 beatdown of Albertus Magnus. In the game, the New Jersey-native added three assists as well as a season-high eight ground balls and three caused turnovers.

Varga had previously been named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Player of the Week for his performance last week, the second time he has been so honored this season. As of this writing, the junior-transfer leads the GNAC in goals (47) and points (77) while ranking second in assists (30). He is ranked third in the entire nation in points per game (6.42).

NEC is back on the field on Saturday when they visit Regis for a GNAC divisional game at 3:00 PM.
