HEBERER NAMED MCLA’S DIVISION I NIKE PLAYER OF THE MONTH
March 19, 2012
by Allie Bakalar
Cal Poly attackman Scott Heberer was named the MCLA’s Division I Nike Player of the Month for February on March 12th. Voted on by Division I coaches, the award was based on the nominated players’ on-field performance in MCLA games during the month of February.
“It’s a great individual accomplishment to be recognized as Player of the Month,” said Heberer. “But it also speaks volumes about the steps that Cal Poly Lacrosse, especially in the past few years, is making towards becoming one of the MCLA’s consistently top ranked programs.”
Heberer helped lead the Mustangs to a 4-1 start this season against highly ranked MCLA teams including Oregon, BYU, California and UC Santa Barbara. He had a total of 10 goals and 7 assists during the month, 5 of those points coming against BYU, the #1 ranked team at the time.
Heberer has felt satisfied with his performance thus far, but said there is room for improvement with things such as game and time management along with getting teammates more involved in the action.
“As a senior attackman, I have to take on more responsibility for how the offense operates throughout the games, whether that means a settled possession or pushing transition when opportunities present themselves,” said Heberer. “I also take pride in assists, so that would be another part of my game I need to focus on for the rest of season because assists point to my ability in putting teammates in positions to be successful.”
Teammate Bowen Dunnahoo-Kirsch said Heberer’s selection is past due. “Scott is extremely deserving of this honor,” said Dunnahoo-Kirsch. “He has been an integral part of this team’s success for four years, and I’m glad that he’s finally getting some notoriety.”
“He’s an extremely versatile player that can find his way in front of a net just as easily as he can pass it to a cutting attackman for an assist. Teams are constantly having to adjust to defend a potent scorer or a cerebral passer,” Dunnahoo-Kirsch added.
