The week featured some close games and late rallies, thrilling overtime wins, and a couple anticipated matchups that more than lived up to their hype. In a couple of those contests, all those factors were rolled into one. That exciting slate produced for us 11 candidates for Girls Lacrosse Player of the Week, presented by White Plains Hospital.
Our previous poll winners this season were Sofia Conners (Somers), Fin Degl (John Jay-Cross River), Emily Butler (Tappan Zee), Amelia Walsh (Brewster), Olivia Saccomanno (Brewster) and Lauren Rogers (White Plains).
Read below about what the nominees accomplished last week, then cast your votes. The poll will be open until 3 p.m. Wednesday, May 13 and the winner will be featured on lohud sports social media accounts.
