Wargo Named IWLCA Div. II Defensive Player of the Week
WALTHAM, Mass. – Bentley University goalie Ashlee Wargo (Madison, Conn./Daniel Hand) was named the Division II Defensive Player of the Week by the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association on Tuesday.
Wargo was named the NE10 Goalie of the Week on Monday.
She played a huge role in the team's sweep of its Florida trip that saw wins over No. 18 and previously unbeaten St. Leo and No. 2 Florida Southern, both in overtime.
She made 10 saves in the victory over St. Leo on Thursday night. She then stopped a season-high 14 shots in the win over Florida Southern on Saturday. Five of those saves came in the 4th quarter, including a save on a free-position shot with one second left in regulation that sent the game to overtime tied 16-16.
The Falcons have won five straight games and rose seven spots in this week's ILWomen/IWLCA Division II Poll to No. 14.
The team will be back in action on Wednesday night when they host Assumption at 7:00 PM.
