  • Mercy College men’s lacrosse junior goalie T.J. DiCarlo of Farmingdale was named player of the week by the East Coast Conference for his play in the Mavericks’ season-opening 7-6 triple-overtime loss to Chestnut Hill College. DiCarlo and teammates, including freshman midfielder Anthony Accardi of Valley Cottage and Nyack HS, are back in action on Tuesday when they travel to Colchester, VT, to meet St. Michael’s College. The faceoff is slated for 3:30 p.m. The host Purple Knights have two freshmen midfielders in Fordham Prep grad Matt Casella of Yonkers, and North Salem grad Tim Curran.
