Posted: Mar 29, 2022

STANDISH, Maine – The Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) weekly honors have been released and Saint Joseph's College grad student Lydia Dexter (Oakland, Maine) has been tabbed as the GNAC Women's Lacrosse Player of the Week for the third time this season.

Dexter tallied five goals and six assists with 10 ground balls in huge conference wins over Simmons and Emmanuel last week. The grad student attack netted the OT game-winner versus the Sharks on Tuesday and totaled seven points with three goals and four assists in a runaway win over the Saints on Saturday.

Through eight games this spring, Dexter has netted 30 goals with 39 assists for 69 total points. She currently leads the conference in points and assists and ranks fourth in goals and shots (69).

As of March 25th, Dexter leads the NCAA – all three divisions – in points per game (8.86), ranks second in assists per game (5.00), and fifth in total assists (35).

Saint Joseph's (8-0, 4-0 GNAC) will play at Lasell University this afternoon at 4:00 PM.
