BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Following strong efforts over a pair of wins, two Lehigh women's lacrosse student-athletes have garnered Patriot League weekly awards, as announced on Monday. Senior Julianne D'Orazio was named the Midfielder of the Week while freshman Sondra Dickey earned Rookie of the Week. The duo helped lead the Mountain Hawks to two impressive road victories last week, 16-6 at VCU and 10-3 at Holy Cross.
D'Orazio filled up the stat sheet, finishing the week with four goals, one assist, eight groundballs, seven draw controls and seven caused turnovers. The Bryn Mawr, Pa. native began with a goal, two groundballs, four draw controls and two caused turnovers in last Monday's win at VCU. D'Orazio then sparked the Mountain Hawks to a Patriot League opening victory at Holy Cross Saturday, leading the team in goals (3), points (4), groundballs (6), draw controls (3) and caused turnovers (5). The hat trick marked her first of the season and third of her career. For the season, leads the team with 17 caused turnovers and is second in both groundballs (20) and draw controls (14). D'Orazio currently stands tied for 13th nationally with 2.43 caused turnovers per game.

Dickey went on to post a goal, groundball and two caused turnovers in Saturday's win at Holy Cross. For the season, Dickey owns eight goals, two assists, 13 groundballs, 11 caused turnovers and six draw controls.
Both D'Orazio and Dickey played key roles in Lehigh's stellar defensive effort, allowing just nine goals over two games.

D'Orazio, Dickey and the Mountain Hawks held Holy Cross to just one goal in the span of 37:42, as Lehigh's offense scored 10 goals to take control of the game.
