They are impressive stats.<\/p>\n
Huntsville native Jason Knox is a freshman playing NCAA Division 1 lacrosse on an academic scholarship at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in Geneva, New York. He plays the attack position, and in just his second collegiate game he broke the Northeast Conference (NEC) record for goals in a single game (nine) and currently leads the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletics Association) shooting percentage at .768 with 11 goals in 14 shots.<\/p>\n
The Hobart Statesmen started their lacrosse season in February 2019 with Jason on the starting line-up. The team’s February 16 game against Siena where Jason scored those nine goals\u2014eight of them in the first half\u2014was one to remember.<\/p>\n
His mom, Dr. Jocelyn Knox, was unable to attend the game but listened in on Hobart radio.<\/p>\n
“The radio announcer started saying Jason was Hobart\u2019s first attack man ‘crease specialist’ that they haven\u2019t had in quite some time,” she said. With his eighth goal, Jason surpassed the Hobart School Division 1 record. His ninth goal elevated the school record and set a new NEC record for goals scored in a single game.<\/p>\n
“This last nine-goal game is what I can remember most right now as it is the highest competition I have come in my career so far,” said Jason. “The team is making me look good too. What I do, couldn\u2019t be done without them.”<\/p>\n
