The Muskingum Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) has announced that men's track & field senior athlete Chris Lardie and women's lacrosse sophomore Ashley Adams have been named the SAAC Muskies of the Month for February.

Adams scored five goals, registered one assist, had eight ground balls, five draw controls and caused four turnovers against Thomas More. Her efforts helped lead Muskingum to its first program win and set a record for most goals scored in a game.
