Alex Egorshin (Men's Lacrosse)
 
Goalkeeper Alex Egorshin delivered an impressive performance in goal to help lift Montevallo men's lacrosse to a statement 12-8 road victory over No. 20 North Greenville. The win marked the Falcons' third victory over a ranked opponent in program history.
 
Egorshin was dominant in goal, recording 19 saves and posting a .704 save percentage while allowing just eight goals across 60 minutes of action. He came up with clutch stops throughout the contest, including six consecutive saves in the opening quarter to stop a North Greenville scoring run and keep the Falcons within striking distance.
 
The senior added three more saves in the second quarter and continued to anchor the defense after halftime, making key stops that allowed Montevallo to build and protect its lead. In the final minutes, Egorshin recorded his 19th save of the day to shut down any comeback hopes and secure the ranked road victory
