NEWPORT NEWS, Va.- Sophomore Lucy Loughlin has been named Atlantic 10 Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Week as announced by the conference on Monday afternoon.
 
The Forest Hill, Md. native made nine saves to help the Explorers grab a 15-8 win over LIU Brooklyn last Thursday night at McCarthy Stadium. The nine saves tied a career-high for Loughlin as she added one ground ball to go with her .529 save percentage on the evening. Six of her saves came in the second half as she helped La Salle outscore the Blackbirds 9-4 in the second half as they pulled away.
 
"We have seen tremendous growth from Lucy this season," said head coach Candace Taglianetti Bossell. "I am very proud of her with the work she has been putting in to continue to improve daily for her team. I'm excited to see her earn this huge honor."
 
Loughlin and the Explorers return to action this weekend as they open up their conference schedule with a trip south to take on Davidson on Friday and VCU on Sunday.
