The Coastal Lacrosse Conference has announced its weekly award winners for the week ending February 22, 2026.
OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
KEVIN MILLER • Christopher Newport University
Junior • Attack • Mechanicsville, Va./Atlee
Miller claims CLC Men's Lacrosse Offensive Player of the Week honors after a dominant 16-point week in which he guided the Captains to wins over No. 12 Washington & Lee and No. 17 Stevenson. Against the Generals, he recorded six assists and a goal for seven points, a single-game assist total that matched the fourth-highest in program history and the finest such effort against a nationally-ranked opponent in CNU's record books. He was equally impressive against the Mustangs, adding a hat trick to go with six more assists for nine points — matching the seventh-highest single-game total in school history. Miller currently ranks second in the CLC in both points per game (6.20) and assists per game (4.40).
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
MASON BELLINGER • Christopher Newport University
Senior • Goalie • Paramus, N.J./Paramus
Bellinger earns CLC Men's Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Week recognition after a stellar week between the pipes in CNU's wins over No. 12 Washington & Lee and No. 17 Stevenson. He made 10 saves in the 13-10 victory over the Generals before recording 13 stops in the 16-11 triumph over the Mustangs. In the latter contest, he also secured seven ground balls — the highest total by a CNU goalkeeper since former All-American Matt Hayden collected eight against Frostburg State on March 28, 2015. Bellinger currently sports an 8.43 goals against average and .590 save percentage through five games.
