Upper Arlington lacrosse player Tori Maurer was selected the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Girls Athlete of the Week for March 16-22.
Maurer had 16 saves in two games, including 11 against Milton (Georgia) and five stops with one ground ball against Lassiter (Georgia).
Maurer received 93.2% of the vote and was followed by Granville softball player Josie Opfer, who received 6.8%.
Opfer threw a five-inning perfect game in a 10-0 season-opening win over Ready. Opfer struck out five and at the plate singled twice with an RBI.
The Athlete of the Week voting recognizes athletes across all sports.
Nominations are due Monday mornings for competitions that took place the previous week. The boys poll is live until 4 p.m. Fridays. The girls poll is live until 4 p.m. Saturdays.
Anyone can nominate an athlete by email to bwhite1@dispatch.com or through X (formerly Twitter) tagging @BrianWhite13.
Once athletes win during the regular season, they’re not eligible to be back on the ballot until the postseason. Athletes who have not been a recipient of one of the weekly awards can be nominated more than once.
