RICHMOND — After posting tremendous performances in the William & Mary lacrosse team’s impressive season-opening win at Coastal Carolina, junior midfielder Kate Draddy and junior goalie Marin Wilhelm earned player of the week honors by the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA).
Draddy posted a tremendous all-around performance in the triumph, scoring three goals on just four shots with a game-high six draw controls, a caused turnover and a ground ball. Her final goal, coming with 6:36 remaining in the four quarter, provided the Tribe with the decisive score to secure the road victory against the ASUN Conference preseason favorites.
Wilhelm earned the league’s top defensive weekly honor after totaling 13 saves and a .542 save percentage to go with three ground balls. Five of her saves came during the pivotal fourth quarter to help preserve the hard-fought, two-goal win.
The Tribe will return to action when it hosts George Washington for its home opener at Martin Family Stadium on Saturday at noon.
