Loyola's Schiavone wins weekly league award

Loyola senior face-off specialist John Schiavone earned his second Defensive Player of the Week award in as many weeks, the Eastern College Athletic Conference announced Monday.

Schiavone won 12-of-19 face-offs in Saturday's 9-6 loss to Johns Hopkins and collected 10 groundballs in the process.

Schiavone, who has scooped up 83 groundballs this season, ranks eighth on the school's single-season list for groundballs. Two more groundballs will vault him past P.T. Ricci, who collected 84 groundballs in 2008.

Schiavone ranks fifth in Division I in both face-off percentage (.600) and groundballs per game (6.3).
