Ryan Considine has been named a Pioneer Athlete of the Week for the week of April 6th, 2026.
Considine and the Pioneers played in two Empire 8 conference games this past week, hosting St. John Fisher on Wednesday before hitting the road to face Keuka on Saturday. In a valiant 18-10 loss to the #11-ranked Cardinals, Considine led Utica with four goals and two assists, the only Pioneer to achieve either three goals or a second assist. He followed that performance with a three-goal, six-assist outing against the Wolves to help propel the orange and blue to an 18-5 victory, the squad’s first of 2026. His 15 points in the two games would already rank third-best on the team’s season-long stats, and just one short of a tie for second.
Considine and the men’s lacrosse team will face two major tests this week as the race for the Empire 8 Tournament heats up. They’ll face SUNY Poly on Wednesday over on Wildcat Field, before returning to Gaetano Stadium to host Brockport this weekend in the team’s annual Mike Parnell game. Wednesday’s matchup begins at 4:00 PM, while Saturday is slated for a 1:00 PM start time. Both opponents are directly in front of the Pioneers in the current Empire 8 standings.
