Sam Fiedler, who single-handedly outscored the opposition in a 17-6 win for Loyola University Maryland women’s lacrosse against No. 4 Florida Feb. 22, was announced as the US Lacrosse Player of the Week Feb. 24.
Fiedler (Reisterstown, Md./Garrison Forest) set new career-highs in both goals (7) and points (8) during the victory, as the Greyhounds earned their largest margin of victory ever against a top five team. Loyola is now 3-0 on the year, with two of its victories coming against nationally ranked opponents.
Fiedler is now up to 93 career goals after the performance against Florida, leaving her seven away from becoming the 31st player in program history to reach 100 in her collegiate career. She had three points (2 G, 1 A) during Loyola’s 4-1 run to start the contest, and she supplied four goals during a decisive 9-0 stretch that spanned more than 25 minutes of game action.
