EDISON, NJ – The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) office has announced Jaspers' Women's Lacrosse senior attack Olivia Cruthers as the Female Student-Athlete of the Week, per release.
In her senior season, Cruthers has been masterful on the turf. The Amityville product paces the Jaspers with 13 goals on the season, just six shy of her career-high in nearly half the games from a season ago. In non-conference play at LIU earlier this season, Cruthers tallied five goals in the overtime effort against the Sharks and tied her single-game high in goals scored in a game. Cruthers leads the Green and White with 47 shots and nine assists on the year. On her 47 shots, she tacked 31 of those, on target. Off the field, Cruthers is studying Chemical Engineering as she pursues her bachelor's degree.
The Male Student-Athlete of the Week was Rider's Erich Hartmann of Baseball.
