LANCASTER, PA - Franklin & Marshall College attackman Chris Wathey (Sr., South Huntington, NY/St. Anthony's) has been named to the March 29 Centennial Conference Men's Lacrosse Honor Roll.

In a 2-0 week, he scored seven goals and handed out three assists as the Diplomats rolled Goucher (6-3 W) and Ursinus (10-3 W). Against Goucher, he factored in five of Franklin & Marshall College's six goals as he scored three times and handed out two assists. Wathey scored twice in the first period and notched his third goal of the contest before picking up assists on goals by Vandy Vanderwarker (Sr., Keswick, VA/STAB) and Sean Duffy (So., Springfield, PA/Archmere Academy) in the second period. Against Ursinus, he dominated the Bears putting home four goals and handing out an assist in a seven-goal rout.

Wathey's inclusion on the honor roll marks the second straight week he has been recognized by the Centennial Conference as he scored eight goals and dished out four assists in a 2-0 week as F&M knocked off Keene State (13-10 W) and Denison (12-10 W) in a pair of neutral site games two weeks ago. Against Keene, he scored four goals and handed out two assists, and then repeated the feat against Denison.
