BIDDEFORD, Maine – Following their stellar performances for the Roger Williams University Women's Lacrosse team in their upset victory over #9 nationally-ranked Colby College, senior
Hannah Goodwin (Branford, Mass.) and graduate student
Devon Sarazin (Falmouth, Maine) were named Commonwealth Coast Conference Defensive Player and Offensive Player of the Week respectively for the week of March 7
th through March 13
th, as it was announced by the conference offices on Monday. Goodwin made a career-high 19 saves in the contest while Sarazin sparked the offense netting three goals.
While it is the first time in her career that Sarazin has received conference weekly recognition, it is the third consecutive week that the women's lacrosse team has secured CCC Offensive Player of the Week honors, doing so with three different players.
Lily Cunningham (Melrose, Mass.) and
Mandy Beck (Old Saybrook, Conn.) each received the award in the previous two weeks. As for Goodwin, it is her second conference Defensive Player of the Week honor of her career after she got it for the conference championship week last May.
Sarazin's four tallies matches her season-high and is also the second-highest single-game total in her illustrious career in Bristol. The fifth-year Hawk scored five times in a game once as a freshman and had netted a quartet of goals three previous times before doing so on Wednesday.
Goodwin, meanwhile, obliterated her previous career-high for saves with her 19 against the Mules. The total is also tied for the second most made in a victory in a contest. Goodwin's mark is eclipsed by only one, and it is ironically enough the new head coach of the Hawks,
Amanda Magee '10, who made 20 saves in a 17-7 win against Western New England on March 31, 2009.
Thus far this spring, Sarazin is tied for fourth in the CCC in points (17) while her 12 goals stand alone as the fourth-most in the conference. Goodwin, meanwhile, leads all CCC GK's in wins with four and is second in total saves (56) while her 56.8 save-percentage and 7.60 goals against average both lead the conference among goalies with four or more games played.
