LANCASTER, Pa. – Junior attackman Peyton Gestole (Sudlersville, Md./Queen Anne's County) has been named the Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Week in men's lacrosse for the week of March 23-29. This is Gestole's first time earning the Centennial's weekly award.

Gestole totaled six goals and six assists for 12 points in a 2-0 week for the Shoremen, who are 3-0 in Centennial play for the first time in 11 years. In Wednesday's 15-9 win at Ursinus, the junior led all players with five goals and eight points and tied for tops in the contest in assists with three. He factored in five of WC's 10 first half goals with two goals and three helpers and in the second half, scored three of the team's five tallies. In Saturday's 14-9 triumph at Franklin & Marshall, the attackman handed out three assists, including helpers on the sixth goal in the first quarter that capped a six-goal run by WC and on the game-winning score which gave Washington a 10-6 advantage with 52 ticks to go before halftime.

It is the first time a Shoreman has won the weekly award since senior teammate Cam Carrigan received it on April 30, 2024.
