Utah’s Stout Grabs Weekly Award

ATLANTA – The Utah men’s lacrosse team posted the first big upset of the season and raced out to a 2-0 start through the efforts of sophomore midfielder Jacob Stout. As such, the Alpine, Utah, native earned the MCLA Division I Commanding Performance of the Week powered by Under Armour for the period ending Feb. 19.

The Utes kicked off their campaign against No. 1 and defending national champion Chapman, and Utah pulled off the 12-9 stunner thanks to a hat trick and an assist by Stout.

He followed that up on Saturday with four goals in a comfortable, 18-10 victory against Washington at the 10th Annual Pac-12 Shootout at UCLA.

“Jake is off to a good start for us,” said Utah coach Brian Holman. “Not surprising since he is a hard worker in the classroom, on the field and in the weight room. He's slowly but surely becoming one of our leaders.”

For his efforts in earning the Commanding Performance of the Week powered by Under Armour, Stout will receive a new Under Armour Command Head – a $100 value. Under Armour is the proud sponsor of the MCLA.
