Oliver Named America East Offensive Player of the Week

BOSTON, Mass.- Senior attack Emily Oliver has been named America East Offensive Player of the Week, as announced by the conference on Monday. She is the first Bryant women's lacrosse player to earn a weekly award in the America East. 

This is the first career weekly honor for Oliver, who recorded six goals and six assists in two games last week, including back-to-back hat tricks. She had three goals and four assists for a career high seven points in Saturday's win over UMass Lowell, following up a three-goal, two-assist performance in the midweek against Brown.

Oliver enters the third week of America East play as the conference's runner-up with 4.78 points per game. She is the only player in the conference to score twenty goals and assist on twenty more, and has posted five or more points in seven of nine contests.

Oliver and the Bulldogs will look for back-to-back conference wins this Saturday at UMBC. First draw is set for 1:00 pm in Baltimore.
