BOSTON – University at Albany men's lacrosse student-athlete Brady Smith has been named the America East Goalkeeper of the Week, the conference announced Monday morning. This is Smith's first weekly award of 2026.
 
Smith was stellar in net once again for the Great Danes, making 13 saves for a .650 save percentage in Saturday's win over UMass Lowell. The defense as a whole held the River Hawks to just seven goals on the day. It was the third consecutive game that Smith held a save percentage above .600, and the third consecutive game the UAlbany defense held their opponents to seven goals or less. In America East play, Smith now leads the conference with a 6.67 goals against average and a .643 save percentage.
 
The team returns home this Saturday, April 4, with a 2:00 p.m. matchup against Binghamton from Tom & Mary Casey Stadium. The matchup is the first of a three-game homestand, with Vermont coming to town on Aprill 11 and Siena visiting on April 14.
