Syracuse Lacrosse: Ben Williams Watch 2015, Week 5

We will be doing this every week just to keep you up to date on how Ben Williams is progressing through his historic first season as a Syracuse Orange. For the original article and full rundown click the link here.

This week Williams picked up his 100^th faceoff attempt of the season, making him eligible for the SU season record for faceoff winning percentage. Although his faceoff winning percentage did fall from .721 to .714 after taking 13 of 19 against St. John's, Williams remains in the top spot for the Syracuse season record. He continues to hold the eighth spot on the NCAA all-time record list and actually moved up to first place amongst all players in division I for the 2015 season.

As for groundballs, another category which Williams has been excelling in, he moved up two places and is now tied for second in groundballs per game in division I in 2015. With 47 total GBs on the year, Williams is still a ways away from placing on the Syracuse all-time list for groundballs in a season. He would need 37 more scoops, or 4.6 GBs in the guaranteed eight games remaining, to enter that list which would put him tied for ninth with three other players.

Here are the full lists:

@ Williams currently has 75 wins

^Minimum of 100 attempts (Williams currently has 105 attempts)

*GB statistics kept since 1988; Williams currently has 47

The Orange will take on rival Johns Hopkins Blue Jays as they return to the Carrier Dome on Saturday at 2 pm. The game can be seen on ESPNU and heard on WTKW 99.5 FM. Of course you can also follow me @Orangelax for updates throughout the game.
