BALTIMORE – Tyler Behring has added a second national award on the heels of his stellar Saturday in the cage for the Fairfield University men's lacrosse team. Behring, who earlier today was named the USILA Defensive Player of the Week, was voted by InsideLacrosse.com readers as the StringKing Player of the Week.

Behring made 19 saves this past weekend on Conway Field at Rafferty Stadium as the Stags upended UMass, 8-6. After Fairfield fell behind 1-0 just 30 seconds into the game, Behring saved the next 14 shots on goal offered up by the Minutemen, keeping UMass off the board for 37:34 of game time to facilitate a 6-0 Stags run. He also collected four ground balls as the club improved to 7-6 overall and 3-0 in the Colonial Athletic Association.

Nineteen saves marked the most by a CAA goalkeeper this season aside from Behring's own 23-save showing against Bucknell on Feb. 20.

Behring earned 42 percent of the vote from InsideLacrosse.com users to earn the award by a half-percentage point – the slimmest margin of the season – over Brown's Will Gural.

For the season, Behring leads the CAA and ranks seventh in the nation with 12.23 saves per game. His .556 save percentage slots him second in the CAA and eighth nationally, while his 9.59 goals-against average is third in the CAA and 27th in the nation.

Last spring, Behring was named CAA Player of the Week, Inside Lacrosse Player of the Week and NCAA.com Division I Defensive Player of the Week after stopping 16 shots with four goals allowed in a win over then-No. 20 Villanova.

Fairfield returns to action this Saturday, April 23 with a trip to No. 10 Towson.
