Hempstead, NY - Hofstra goalie Chris Selva has been named the Colonial Athletic Association Men's Lacrosse Player of the Week for the period ending April 29, the CAA announced Monday.

Selva, a senior quad-captain from Parkland, FL, came off the bench to help lead the Pride to a crucial 9-2 CAA victory at 12th-ranked Towson last Saturday. He posted 12 saves in 43:17 of action in the victory over the Tigers.

Selva recorded four saves in each of the second, third and fourth quarters at Towson. He entered the game after starting freshman Jack Concannon broke a string on his stick and had to be replaced by the two-time All-CAA second team selection.

Selva, who started the first 11 games of the season, now has all five Pride victories on the year. It was his fourth double-digit save contest of the season. He posted 15 saves at #13 Georgetown, 13 at #10 Ohio State and 12 against #16 Marquette.

Selva now has an 8.07 goals against average with 100 saves and a .521 save percentage this season. He ranks 12th in the country in goals against average.

The win boosted the Pride's season record to 5-8 and their CAA record to 2-2. It also kept Hofstra's hopes of earning one of the four CAA Championship berths alive, heading into the regular season finale at Fairfield on Friday night (April 24).

The CAA Men's Lacrosse Championship will be played at the site of the highest regular season seed with semifinals on Thursday, April 30 and the championship game on Saturday, May 2.
