LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Slippery Rock University lacrosse standout Reagan Richeson was named the Western Division Defensive Athlete of the Week when the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference announced its weekly awards Tuesday.
 
A junior from Lewis Center, Ohio, Richeson picked up the defensive award in the Western Division for her performance in The Rock's 19-4 win at D'Youville last week in SRU's lone game of the week.
 
Richeson scored four goals on four shots to tie for the team-lead on the offensive side of the field, but picked up the weekly award from the PSAC thanks to her play in the transition game, where she caused a career-high five turnovers on the ride, forcing five of the seven failed clear attempts by the Saints.
 
She also picked up four ground balls to finish her day with four goals, five caused turnovers and four ground balls.
 
Richeson leads on players on the SRU roster with 15 goals so far this spring and she ranks tied for third on the team with eight ground balls.
 
Undefeated and seventh-ranked Slippery Rock is back in action Wednesday at home with a 4 p.m. non-conference game against Wheeling University.
