Brenda McDermott Named BIG EAST Attacker of the Week

4.26.16 | Women's Lacrosse

NEW YORK - After leading the Owls in pivotal back-to-back wins last week, senior Brenda McDermott has been named the BIG EAST Lacrosse Attacker of the Week. The honor is the first for McDermott, who was named to the BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll earlier this season.

McDermott posted a league-high 11 points off six goals and five assists in victories over Villanova and Cincinnati. She scored a hat trick in each outing while adding a pair of assists against the Wildcats and a trio of dishes against the Bearcats. The hat tricks were the third and fourth of the season for McDermott. The senior also recorded six ground balls, two draw controls and a caused turnover as Temple remained in the hunt for a BIG EAST Championship slot.

The Owls close out the regular season on Saturday, April 30, hosting Georgetown at 1 p.m. With a win, Temple will advance to next week's BIG EAST Championships.
