GENEVA, N.Y.—The William Smith College lacrosse team saw two of its members honored by the league office this afternoon. Senior Sarah Dillon (Blair Academy/Oldwick, N.J.) was tabbed the Liberty League Offensive Performer of the Week, while first-year Molly Fitzgerald (Gould Academy/Sudbury, Mass.) was named the Rookie of the Week for the third straight week.
Dillon posted 20 points in two conference wins for the Herons over the weekend, including a career-high 12 points on seven goals and five assists in their 23-11 win over Clarkson on Friday. She went on to notch two goals and six assists the next day in a 15-6 win over St. Lawrence. A midfielder, Dillon totaled nine goals and 11 assists on the week, raising her season total to a league-leading 44 points.
