BETHLEHEM, Pa. – No. 15 Army West Point and No. 9 Loyola Maryland received two Patriot League Women’s Lacrosse weekly awards apiece when the League office announced honors on Monday. Boston University claimed the remaining accolade.
Army West Point freshman Allison Reilly collected Patriot League Women’s Lacrosse Attacker and Rookie of the Week after posting a League single-game high 12 points on nine goals and three assists in the Black Knights’ 15-11 win over Navy.
Loyola Maryland graduate student midfielder Jillian Wilson received her fifth Patriot League Women’s Lacrosse Midfielder of the Week of the season and her fourth in a row after helping the Greyhounds to victories over Bucknell and Lafayette. Wilson moved to third in Patriot League history in draw controls (406) and is one shy of breaking the League’s single-season record (156, Boston University’s Jennifer Barry in 2022).
Greyhounds’ graduate student Katie Detwiler collected Patriot League Women’s Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Week for a League-record 13th time during her decorated career after tallying one goal, four draw controls, three ground balls and three caused turnovers in two games.
Boston University junior Reilly Agres matched her career-high with 16 saves in a win against Bucknell to claim Patriot League Women’s Lacrosse Goalkeeper of the Week for the fourth time this season.
Boston University senior attack Jennifer Barry, senior midfielder Claire Gola and junior defender Ellen Monahan, Holy Cross junior midfielder Lauren Drillock and sophomore defender Lindsay Hult, Lehigh junior attack Olivia Memeger, Loyola Maryland sophomore attack Georgia Latch and sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Spence all received honorable mentions for their performances last week.
The Patriot League women’s lacrosse players of the week were selected in a vote by League women’s lacrosse communications contacts, who are not eligible to vote for their student-athletes.
