National Lacrosse League Player of the Week: It’s Philly’s Athan Iannucci

April 1st, 2009 by Bob Chavez

AI’s back, and so are the Philadelphia Wings. Of course, Athan Iannucci’s been back for a few weeks, but his four goals and three assists not only garnered him National Lacrosse League Player of the Week honors, it helped the Wings get right back into the playoff mix with a big win over the Colorado Mammoth last week. Joining Nooch on the weekly award list is Andy Secore of the Rush for Offensive Player honors, Titans goalie Matt Vinc for Defensive Player honors, Brodie Merrill of the LumberJax for Transition Player honors and Rhys Duch of the Stealth for Rookie honors.
