The College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) has announced the recipients of the Men's Lacrosse Student-Athletes of the Week for the period spanning April 14 to April 20.

Bob Boone from Illinois Wesleyan secured the Offensive accolade. Boone, a fifth-year student from Los Angeles, California, was pivotal in Illinois Wesleyan's 12-11 victory over Elmhurst, sealing the win with a decisive goal 12 seconds before the end of the game. Boone contributed five points to the team's effort, including two goals and three assists, leading the Titans to first place in the league and earning at least a share of the CCIW regular-season title.

Sam Wallace of Carthage was named the Defensive Student-Athlete of the Week. Wallace, a graduate student from Bloomington, Minnesota, played a critical role in Carthage's conference triumphs over Carroll and North Central. His performance included eight ground balls and six caused turnovers. In the match against North Central, Wallace’s efforts contributed to a 12-3 win, holding the Cardinals to their lowest score of the season.
