The 22-year-old forward scored six goals and one assist in the Shamrox's 15-10 win over Minnesota on Saturday at Sears Centre. The game marked just the fourth start of the season for the second-year pro, who saw his first action of 2008 on 1 March. Jacobs scored five of his goals in a 9-0 Chicago run that spanned through the entire second and third quarters. The win marked the second straight for the Shamrox (3-7).

Edmonton's Rory Glaves was named Defensive Player of the Week. Glaves defended All Star forward Colin Doyle for much of the game, holding him scoreless in the Rush's 12-5 victory over the Stealth on Saturday at Rexall Place. The 26-year-old defender also scooped four loose balls and scored a shorthanded goal in the win.

Teammate Chris McKay was named Transition Player of the Week. McKay recorded one goal, three assists, and 12 loose balls in his first career game in a Rush jersey. The 27-year-old Victoria native did not see any action in 2008 until the Rush signed him last Tuesday. Edmonton (3-7) has won three of their last four games.

Rochester's Matt MacLeod was named Rookie of the Week. The 20-year-old forward matched a career-high with two goals and one assist in Rochester's 20-12 win over first-place Philadelphia on Saturday at Blue Cross Arena. The Knighthawks (5-6) entered the weekend trailing Buffalo by 1.5 games for the final playoff spot in the East.
