CENTER VALLEY, Pa. - Senior Rosie Shanks was tabbed as the Patriot League Offensive Player of the Week, the league office announced on Monday afternoon. The Leopards kicked off their season in style, securing a 3-0 victory over non-conference opponent Hofstra this past Friday.

The Scotland native earned her first conference honor of the season after opening and closing the fireworks for the Maroon and White this past Friday. Shanks caged the first and last of Lafayette's three goals on the night.

The senior opened the scoring with a tap-in after securing the ball through traffic late in the opening half. Her second came late in the final stanza as Shanks fired a rifle into the far side of the cage after receiving the ball from Lisa van der Geest on the right side of the circle.

Shanks and the Leopards hit the road for a pair of weekend contests, taking on Appalachian State on Saturday at 2 p.m. and JMU on Sunday at 2 p.m.
