Washington and Lee University
The Old Dominion Athletic Conference announced its Athletes of the Week for the week ending April 19 and Washington and Lee sophomore midfielder Emmy Mathews (Baltimore, Md./Bryn Mawr) grabbed the honor in women's lacrosse.
Mathews led the 14th-ranked Generals to a 2-0 week. She tallied a hat trick in a 15-4 victory over Guilford on Tuesday, before notching a game-high four goals in a 13-9 triumph over Colorado College on Saturday. On the season, Mathews leads the team in scoring with 42 points on 35 goals and seven assists.
W&L (11-4, 7-1) enters the 2009 ODAC tournament as the second seed and received a first-round bye. The Generals will play the winner of the sixth-seeded Guilford/third-seeded Randolph-Macon game in a semifinal match-up on Saturday at 3:00 pm at host Roanoke College.
