RICHMOND, Va. -- University of Delaware senior attackman Curtis Dickson, who has led the Blue Hens to a 2-0 start and has averaged 7.5 points per game in the two outings, is the Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Week for the period ending Sunday.

Dickson (at right), a senior from Port Coquitlam, British Columbia (Riverside High School), tallied 15 total points in the two games as he led the Hens to wins o 15-5 over Saint Joseph’s back on Feb. 5 and to a 11-10 triple overtime triumph over then No. 12 UMBC this past Saturday. The Hens are now off to a 2-0 start for the sixth time in the last seven games.

For his efforts, Dickson was also named the Nike/Inside Lacrosse National NCAA Division I Player of the Week.

Delaware, which moved up to No. 13 in the USILA Top 20 poll this week, face a tough test Tuesday when the Hens take on No. 5 Johns Hopkins (1-0) at Homewood Field in Baltimore. The game will be televised live on ESPNU.

Dickson enjoyed one of the finest games by a Delaware player in over decade Saturday vs. UMBC as he tallied a career-high seven goals, including the game-winner with 1:07 left in the third sudden death overtime period. He also dished out an assist for a career-high eight assists. His seven goals was the most by a Delaware player since All-American John Grant scored eight goals against Rutgers in 2008.
