Hallock Honored Again

STANFORD, Calif. – Stanford sophomore Ben Hallock was voted the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Player of the Week, following his nine-goal performance in two Cardinal wins.
 
The two-meter standout scored a career-best eight goals in Sunday's 16-10 victory over No. 11 UC Irvine. It's the most goals in a game by a Cardinal since Bret Bonanni recorded nine scores against MIT on Sept. 25, 2015. Hallock registered a hat trick in the first 4:09 of the contest and had five goals by halftime.

In Saturday's 13-10 win over No. 9 UC Davis, Hallock recorded a first quarter score.
