NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – Senior lacrosse goalie Megan Corliss has been named the Atlantic 10's Defensive Player of the Week, while freshman midfielder Caitlyn Brostrand has been named the Rookie of the Week, as announced by the conference today.

Corliss has also been named La Salle's Student-Athlete of the Week.

The pair helped the Explorers to a 2-0 week, including wins over Duquesne and St. Bonaventure, while La Salle tied a program record for wins in a season with nine.

Corliss posted a 10.00 goals against average and .535 save percentage.   She made 24 stops on the weekend and broke the La Salle record for career saves.  The Blue Bell, Pa. native currently has 422 saves in her career.

This is the second straight week that Corliss has been named the league's Defensive Player of the Week and the third time overall this season.

Brostrand tallied four goals in each of La Salle's two victories.

She came up big for the Explorers in their overtime win against Duquesne on Friday.  With 40 seconds left in regulation, the Runnemede, N.J. native put the Explorers up by a goal.  However, Duquesne scored to force overtime.

The teams traded overtime goals, but a free position shot from Brostrand with 38 seconds to play gave La Salle the 12-11 victory. 

Also on the honor roll this week is Massachusetts' Katie Ferris who was named the Player of the Week.
