NEC WOMEN'S LACROSSE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Holly Lawrence, Saint Francis U
Sr., M, Damascus, MD/Damascus
Lawrence picked up her second NEC Player of the Week honor after a dominating performance against Gardner-Webb, helping the Red Flash to a 19-3 win and their third straight victory. Lawrence proved to be the catalyst in the game, scoring six goals on six shots. With Saint Francis U trailing 2-1, the senior potted three goals in one minute to put the Red Flash ahead for good. It marked the second time this season Lawrence - who leads Saint Francis U with 15 goals - has scored six or more tallies in a game. She added five draw controls in the win.

NEC WOMEN'S LACROSSE DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Katelyn Miller, Robert Morris
Fr., GK, Bel Air, MD/C. Milton Wright
For the second time this season, Miller's efforts between the pipes earned her the NEC Defensive Player of the Week award. The freshman stopped 10 shots and allowed just seven goals as the Colonials posted a 9-7 victory over Detroit Mercy for their third win in the last four outings. Miller, who made three saves over the final 2:18 of the contest to preserve the victory, posted a .588 save percentage for the game and added a pair of ground balls.

NEC WOMEN'S LACROSSE ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Megan Szawlowski, Central Connecticut
Fr., M, Leeds, MA/Williston Northhampton
Szawlowski paced Central Connecticut's offense in pair of contests against Patriot League foes. In a close 13-11 loss to Army on Wednesday, Szawlowski tallied seven points on two goals and a career-high five assists. Five of those points came in the second half as the Blue Devils nearly erased a four-goal deficit. Szawlowski followed with a goal and an assist in a setback to Lafayette on Saturday. The Leeds, MA native also compiled eight draw controls on the week. She leads CCSU with nine goals and 15 assists on the year.
