Rust, a junior from Windham, N.H., helped nationally 10th-ranked Lynchburg to a pair of ODAC victories last week to keep the Hornets unblemished and tied with Hampden-Sydney at 5-0 atop the league table. Rust registered a 10-point week over Lynchburg's 18-7 win at Shenandoah and 14-11 triumph over Roanoke, the latter of which is receiving votes towards the USILA's latest poll. Rust notched four points and two goals and two assists at SU. He added a pair of ground balls while scoring on two of his three shots. On Saturday against the Maroons, Rust posted a career-high six goals. He scored his fourth goal on a man-up opportunity in the fourth quarter, helping Lynchburg to start to pull away late-on. He scored his final two goals in a three-minute span to seal the Hornets victory. For the season, Rust has recorded 33 points on 25 goals and eight assists. He is tied with H-SC's Talmadge Hope atop the ODAC charts with seven man-up goals.
