Claire Marshall Named Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week

HANOVER, N.H. – For the second time in as many weeks, a member of the Dartmouth women's lacrosse team has been named the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Week.

Sophomore Claire Marshall was honored as this week's recipient after helping the Big Green defense limit Columbia to just two goals in Friday's 21-2 victory in New York City. The 19-goal margin of victory was the most in an Ivy game in program history.

Marshall's recognition comes on the heels of Kathryn Giroux's honor last week. For Marshall, this was her first conference recognition.

Against the Lions, Marshall had a game-high four ground balls, while also kicking in a draw control. She and her teammates held Columbia to just the pair of goals, the second-lowest total by any Ivy team this season. In doing so, they also held last week's top offensive player Lindsey Ewertsen without a point.

Marshall and the rest of the Big Green are back in action Tuesday at home against Hofstra (3 p.m.) before playing host to Ivy foe Harvard on Saturday (2 p.m.).
