For the week, Runfola went hit .636 (7-for-11) with two home runs, three runs scored, 10 RBIs with a .714 on-base percentage and 1.182 slugging percentage.

Raymond totaled seven points for the second time this season as 10th-ranked Gettysburg pummeled Ohio Northern 17-6 on March 11. Raymond tallied two goals and five assists including the game's first goal and assists to four different teammates during the game. He also set a new personal mark for assists.

Defensive Player of the Week
Kyle Craig, Jr., D, Franklin & Marshall
Wantagh, N.Y. | Wantagh
Craig caused three turnovers while picking up a trio of ground balls in an 11-6 victory over Kenyon on Wednesday evening. The Diplomats defense held Kenyon to just three goals across the final three quarters, clamping down on the upstart visitors.
Women's Lacrosse
Offensive Player of the Week
Emma Miller, So., A/M, McDaniel
Ellicott City, Md. | Marriotts Ridge
Miller led the Green Terror to a 2-0 week with eight goals and two assists. She recorded four goals in a 13-6 win over Hood and four goals and two assists in the 19-5 win over Elizabethtown.

Women's Lacrosse
Defensive Player of the Week
Jessica Calloway, Sr., GK, Bryn Mawr
New Windsor, Md. | Good Counsel
Calloway led Bryn Mawr to a pair of wins with 14 saves and a 7.33 goal against average for the week. The senior tallied two saves and allowed just four goals in limited work against Rutgers Camden as the Owls coasted to a big win. Then, Calloway made 12 stops against Immaculata on Wednesday to give Bryn Mawr a chance to grab a 10-9 win in overtime. One of those stops came in the final seconds of regulation, as Calloway made a tremendous save on an Immaculata shot just before the final horn that would have given the hosts the win. Instead, Calloway is now 4-0 on the season along with her Owls, and she leads the conference in both save percentage and goals against average. She is also currently 19th nationally in goals against average.
