COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.— Colorado Mesa University men's lacrosse standout midfielders James Steinke and Drew Eickelman swept the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference's player of the week honors that were announced on Monday afternoon.
 
Steinke, a redshirt sophomore from Castle Rock, Colorado, was named as the RMAC Offensive Player of the week for the second time this season while Eickelman, a redshirt sophomore from Littleton, Colorado, picked up the defensive honor for the second in his career.
 
The Mavs have now swept the honors all three times that they have been eligible this season.
 
Steinke scored five goals while assisting on four others as he tallied nine offensive points in the Mavs' first two games of their trip to Florida.  He recorded his first career hat-trick with three goals and an assist in Wednesday's 14-10 win at Palm Beach Atlantic before leading the Mavs with five points (2 goals, 3 assists) in Saturday's contest at No. 2 Tampa.
 
He also took nine shots throughout the week, seven of which were on goal.  He also had five ground balls. 
 
Steinke leads the RMAC with 22 offensive points and is third in the conference for goals (11) and tied for second for assists (11). 
 
Meanwhile, Eickelman set new season-highs for ground balls (4) and caused turnovers (3) as he led the Mavericks defensively in Wednesday's 14-10 win at Palm Beach Atlantic.  He also scored a goal in that game before coming back to scoop up three more ground balls in Saturday's game at Tampa.  He finished the week with seven ground balls.
 
The Mavericks, who sport a 5-2 overall and perfect 2-0 RMAC record, continue their 4-game trip in Florida this week playing nationally-ranked Florida Tech in Melbourne on Wednesday afternoon before wrapping up the trip at Flagler in St. Augustine on Friday.
