BEREA, Ohio – Baldwin Wallace University men's lacrosse First Team All-OAC junior attacker/midfielder Noah Dodgion (Hilliard/Davidson) has been named the Yellow Jacket Men's Athlete of the Month for April 2026.
 
To be considered for the monthly honor, a male or female student-athlete must have been nominated for at least one Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) weekly award in his or her respective sport. From the pool of nominees, members of the Athletic Communications staff, together with student assistants from the department's social media team, select the monthly winner.
 
Dodgion earned the Men's Yellow Jacket of the Week award on April 21 after a career-best seven-goal performance against OAC foe Ohio Northern. In that game, he scored the last goal of the third period and first three goals of the fourth period to swing the game in BW's favor. This started a 6-0 run for BW that was crucial to securing the 15-14 victory. The Academic All-OAC honoree kept his foot on the gas against Capital later that week by scoring five goals and adding one assist to contribute six points in the 18-9 win.
 
Dodgion was recognized as First Team All-OAC after leading the conference with 66 goals, 3.47 goals per game, and 10.42 shots per game in 2026. He was named to the OAC All-Tournament Team after scoring a hat trick in the OAC semifinals to help BW advance to the championship game. This performance was followed by a hat trick in the OAC Championship game to conclude his junior season.
