Katie Foley and Jenn Hawkins Sweep MAC Women's Lacrosse Weekly Honors

ELIZABETHTOWN, Pa. --- Elizabethtown College junior attack Katie Foley (Palmyra, NJ/Holy Cross) was named the Middle Atlantic Conference Player of the Week for the third straight week, while junior Jenn Hawkins (Havre de Grace, MD/Havre de Grace) was honored as the MAC Defensive Player of the Week for the week ending April 20, the conference office announced Monday.

Foley had another standout week for the Blue Jays, scoring 12 goals and adding five assists in wins over Messiah College (14-7) and Manhattanville College (25-8).

She scored four goals and three assists in the win over Messiah, and tallied eight goals and two assists to help the Blue Jays to the highest single-game goal total in program history against Manhattanville.

Foley leads the MAC with 61 goals, eight shy of her own program record of 69 goals set last season.

Hawkins guided the Blue Jays to victories over Messiah and Manhattanville, finishing with nine saves in the win against Messiah and eight stops in 45 minutes in the victory over Manhattanville.

For the season, she has a 9.22 goals against average to rank second in the MAC, and leads the conference with a .565 save percentage on the strength of 131 saves.

The Blue Jays (9-4 overall, 6-1 MAC) are assured a first-round home game in next week's MAC semifinals, and close the regular season on Tuesday afternoon at Widener University.
