O'Brien, Royer, Pittman Named USA Lacrosse Women's Players of the Week

What an incredible season it's been for Reagan O'Brien.

The Johns Hopkins junior caused 17 turnovers last week (10 against Penn State and seven against Northwestern), giving her 85 on the season. That breaks the Division I women's single-season record set by Manhattan's Moira Muthig in 2000.

O'Brien, the USA Lacrosse Division I Women's Player of the Week, has a chance to pad her record if Johns Hopkins earns an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.

The Division I women's Selection Show is Sunday at 9 p.m. Eastern on ESPNU.

DIVISION II

Ella Royer, Wilmington (Del).

Wilmington's junior midfielder, who leads the nation in scoring, tallied 16 goals in two games and broke the NCAA single-season record for goals during Saturday's 23-16 win over Bridgeport. Royer has six games with eight goals or more this season, and she matched her season high with 10 goals in Saturday's win. 

She now has 118 goals for the season, breaking the mark of 115 set by Maryville's Sydney Tiemann in 2023. Royer also has 143 points and could add to her totals this week as Wilmington begins play in its conference tournament.

DIVISION III

Lauren Pittman, A, Franklin & Marshall

The junior extended her streak of games with at least seven points to three after scoring five goals and adding three assists against Ursinus and putting up another four goals and three assists against Muhlenberg. She also recorded eight draw controls, including six against Muhlenberg.
