The Loyola graduate lifted the No. 2 Cavaliers (4-0) to their most significant victory of the season when he grabbed a loose ball and deposited it into the open net to give Virginia an 11-10 win against No.5 Stony Brook with 44 seconds remaining in overtime. Stanwick was named the Offensive Player of the Week by the Atlantic Coast Conference. He added three goals and four assists in the squad's 22-6 rout of the Virginia Military Institute on Monday.
