NEWTOWN, Pa.  – Women's lacrosse beat Wilson College 26-9 on Saturday afternoon to get back to .500 on the season at 3-3. The team was rewarded for their strong game seeing Sarah Chernis be named MAC Commonwealth Offensive Player of the Week and Anna Bien being named Commonwealth Defensive Player of the Week.

Chernis is now a two-time Commonwealth Player of the Week recipient this season after receiving the same honor on February 24.

The Lions scored 26 goals on Saturday (Mar. 15) to set the new program record for goals in a single game. Chernis scored four goals and assisted on six for a game high 10 points. The 10 points marks a new career high for Chernis while the six assists in a single game ties a program record.

Bien earned her first Player of the Week honor anchoring a defense that allowed their fewest goals in a game this season. Bien caused three turnovers and collected four ground balls in an all-around tremendous game.
