.Athlete Of The Week
"One reason that the lacrosse fortunes have been looking up lately
is the fine work that goalie Lew Floyd has been turning in. Floyd
has been one of the outstanding players in every one of the team's
first seven games and because of his first-rate performances he has
been chosen'this week's Daily Tar Heel Athlete of the Week.
Lew is a junior this year, with one more year of eligibility in
the team, but the way he has been playing would make, you think
that .hewas an A1V American senior, playing his last year. He has
made a total of 138 saves in the seven games so far which leaves him
just 14 short of the University record of 152, set last year by Nick
,. Sowell. f
In addition to this threat of the season record Lew has already
established a new single game record of 26 saves. That came in the
game against Yale. Sowell also held the old individual record of
23 and Floyd has either tied or. bettered that mark in four of the
seven games. He started off- with 23 against .Georgetown to tie
Sowell's effort and then against the strong Dartmouth team he
stopped 24 attempted shots to set the new record. He didn't let that
mark hold for in the next game against Williams he upped his saves
to 25. His season high came in the next game against the Elis. '
Near National Record
According to Coach Al Moore the national record for saves by
a goalie is between 180 and 190. With five more matches left on the
schedule Lew is a cinch to break the University record and has more
than an even chance to break the national record.
Floyd is not thekind of person you would expect to be a goalie.
He's five feet, 11 inches tall but he weighs only 165 not too much
brawn to be blocking shots from all angles. He just seems to have
a knack for his position.
Lew is from University Park, Maryland, which is outside Balti
more, but even though hes from the heart of the lacrosse country
he didn't have much experience until he came down here. Last sea
son he played behind Sowell, who had many nods for All-American,
and didn't get to see much action. But this year he's been applying
himself as the record shows. Lew has been one of Coach-Moore's
most pleasant surprises and as the lacrosse mentor puts it, "He could
have been ahead tf Nick last year if he had played like he has .this
season." With the much more experienced Sowell playing most of
the time last year, Lew didn't get in much. In fact, he, didn't even
earn a letter. But with the position wide open this year he has come
through remarkably.
Coaches Praise Him
Floyd has been praised for his work by most of the visiting
coaches. The Tar Heels ran up against some of the toughest competi
tion in the country when they met Yale, Dartmouth, and Williams
but coaches from all three teams agreed that they could mid a
place for Floyd on their squads. As Coach Tom Dent of Dartmouth
said, "If I had that boy for my goalie, all my troubles wiuld be over."
Lew will undoubtedly get honorable mention for All-American
and, who knows, possibly more. He was mentioned in the Lacrosse
Monthly earlier this year aaone of the players in the nation to watch.
And he certainly has lived up to this expectation. - "
