LOCK HAVEN, Pa. — Coming off a seven-point week, the PSAC announced it has named senior forward
Rylie McGrath the conference Athlete of the Week on Tuesday afternoon.
McGrath continued her career year, leading the Warriors to a 3-0 record this past week. Starting at Mansfield, McGrath created chances all game, scoring a goal and recording five shots. In a rematch of ESU's lone loss of the season, she helped the Warriors defeat No. 5 West Chester by assisting the first tally and scoring the game-winning goal. Capping off the stretch, McGrath scored another goal, her 11th of the year, as ESU defeated No. 9 Saint Anselm 3-0. The co-captain has been the Warriors' offensive leader all season, ranking second in the conference with 25 points. McGrath is the first Warrior to be named a PSAC Athlete of the Week this season, with this being her first time winning the award. In four of the last five years, ESU has won three or more weekly honors from the conference.
The Warriors complete their homestand and finish up non-conference play against Molloy at 3 p.m. tomorrow before heading out to Slippery Rock for a PSAC contest at noon on Saturday, Oct. 17.
