Easton, Pa. - Freshman field hockey midfielder Deanna DiCroce was named the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week on Monday afternoon. DiCroce won the same award last week and was named Rookie of the Week back on Sept. 8th.

DiCroce contributed to all three of Lafayette's goals in the 3-1 win over Monmouth last Saturday. She won a penalty corner that opened up the scoring for the Leopards, to mark her fourth game-winning goal of the season. DiCroce led the team with five shots and several penalty corners against the Hawks.

DiCroce leads the Leopards with five goals out of the 15 made this season and also has a .208 shot percentage for Lafayette.

The Leopards travel to Philadelphia to take on Penn Wednesday at 7:15 p.m. before taking on Patriot League opponent Bucknell Saturday at noon.
