Senior midfielder Maddy Tettelbach has been named this week's La Salle Student-Athlete of the Week after her performance against Richmond this past Sunday.

The defending Atlantic 10 Player of the Week was clutch on Sunday, draining two goals in the second half as the Explorers came from behind to post a huge upset win over Richmond that is likely to have playoff implications. After the Explorers went down 1-0 seconds before halftime, Tettelbach hit the equalizer just over five minutes into the second half by driving home a rebounded shot. She then hit the game winner with 2:37 remaining in regulation as the Explorers posted their biggest win in years. Richmond was picked second in the A-10 preseason poll and came into the game with an unblemished league record.

With the win on Sunday, the Explorers remained perfect at home by winning their fifth home game in as many opportunities this season. The squad also defeated VCU 2-1 on Friday afternoon for a 2-0 weekend.

Tettelbach and the rest of the Explorers have been silencing the preseason pundits, as the squad was picked to finish eighth of nine teams in the Atlantic 10 preseason poll. After starting the season 0-3, they have gone 6-1 in the last seven contests and jumped out to a first-place 3-1 A-10 record.
