Stanford redshirt sophomore Aliya Polisky is the USA Lacrosse Division I Women's Player of the Week, the organization announced Tuesday.

The rare Tennessee lacrosse star, Polisky scored seven goals with one assist in what could be considered an upset win over then-No. 20 USC on Saturday. Polisky was instrumental in the 18-6 victory and did most of her damage early, scoring five first-quarter goals.

A member of the USA Lacrosse U20 Women's National Team that captured a gold medal this summer in Hong Kong, China, Polisky appears primed to build off a successful freshman campaign.

DIVISION II

Sarah Engle, M, Tampa

A graduate transfer from Loyola, the midfielder had quite a debut in her first game as a Spartan, scoring a program-record eight goals in a 26-9 rout of Rollins. 

After tallying 10 goals in 39 games across three seasons for the Greyhounds, Engle nearly matched her career output in one game, including a goal on each of her first five shots of 2025.

DIVISION III

Jovie Noack, A, Wheeling

In Wheeling's first game as a varsity program since May 5, 2019, Noack deposited 10 goals with two assists in a 22-9 win over Allegheny. She did so on just 12 shots.

A transfer from Notre Dame College, Noack made nine starts over 13 games in two seasons at her previous school. She scored 23 goals in that time. Now a junior, she's nearly halfway to that career total after just one outing with Wheeling.
