Well, at least his goal is. The Johns Hopkins senior attackman’s acrobatic, behind-the-head score in the second quarter of Saturday’s 10-9 upset of top-seeded Duke was branded the No. 1 play on ESPN's SportsCenter last night and this morning.

"It’s pretty exciting," Huntley said. "It’s not something – in the grand scheme of things in terms of what we’re trying to accomplish – that means anything, but it’s exciting. It makes it fun, makes it a little interesting."

Huntley said he found 24 text messages on his cell phone after the game complimenting him for his goal. But it’s not the first time lacrosse has made its way to the sports channel’s top plays list.

Two weeks ago, Ohio State senior goalkeeper Stefan Schroder earned the No. 1 distinction for his end-to-end goal against Cornell in an NCAA tournament first-round game, and Huntley said he saw a replay of a behind-the-legs goal by John Grant Jr. of the Major Lacrosse League’s Rochester Rattlers.

"To have lacrosse among the top plays in general is a testament to the growth of the sport," Huntley said. "SportsCenter has had full coverage on both of our games. It’s great for the growth of the sport, and I’m happy that the sport has gone this far."
