Kirra Magaña – Senior – Midfield/Forward – Maine Maritime Academy
Senior Kirra Magaña (Miami, Fla./Dr. Michael M. Krop) scored all four of the Mariners' goals – including a game-winner with 29 seconds remaining - in a 4-3 North Atlantic Conference victory at UMaine-Farmington on Saturday. With the impressive performance, Magaña tied Maine Maritime's single-game points record (8), a mark last reached during the 2019 campaign.
Defensive Player of the Week
Madison Reed – Junior – Goalkeeper – Lesley University
Junior Madison Reed (Burlingame, Calif./St. Ignatius) helped Lesley post its first shutout victory of the 2024 campaign, as she turned away five shots while playing all 90 minutes in a 4-0 road victory at Elms College on Sunday. The junior stopped a breakaway late in the first half to keep the score locked at 0-0 heading into the break before making four second-half saves to preserve the clean sheet, 100% save percentage and win. The shutout was her first of the year and eighth of her career.
Rookie of the Week:
Lily Wright – Freshman – Forward – Lesley University
Freshman Lily Wright (Haymarket, Va./Battlefield) enjoyed the best week of her young career recording five points on two goals and one assist to help Lesley to an undefeated 2-0-1 week. The rookie scored her first collegiate goal in the Lynx 6-1 conference victory over UMaine Presque Isle on Saturday afternoon. The next afternoon, the Virginia native posted three points on a goal and an assist in Lesley's 4-0 non-conference victory over Elms.
