FAIRFIELD, Conn. – Junior midfielder Riley Hellstein was named the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference women's lacrosse Player of the Week, while teammate Lily Crager grabbed Rookie of the Week honors. Fairfield pushed its winning streak to three in a row with victories over Sacred Heart and New Hampshire this past week.

 Against the Pioneers, Hellstein scored six goals and added one assist for seven points on the day. But against the Wildcats, the midfielder was even better notching a career-high seven goals and tallying two assists for nine total points, also a career-high. She leads the team with 25 goals and 28 points through the first six games.

 Crager scored the first three goals of her Fairfield career this week as she notched two in the victory against Sacred Heart and one in the win over New Hampshire. Against the Pioneers, she was a perfect two for two with shots and goals, making the most of her opportunities. Then against the Wildcats, she made her first career start and had another efficient day with her one shot finding the back of the net for a Fairfield score. She also tallied two draw controls, one groundball, and one caused turnover in the 16-6 win. 

 Fairfield's next game is Sunday, March 13 at Denver at 3:00 pm.
