Mollison Wins ACC Player of the Week

Maryland continued its assault on the ACC Player of the Week awards Tuesday when Senior Attacker Sarah Mollison won the Offensive POW Award.

In the midst of an incredible season for the Terrapins, Mollison helped the team to two wins this week, a 17-8 beatdown of Towson and a 16-4 thrashing of #8 Penn.

Starting the week on the road at Towson, playing in front of her mother and brother who flew in from Melbourne, Australia, Mollison tallied 10 points on five goals and five assists, and moved into 4th place on the all-time assists list at Maryland. It further cemented another dominant performance for Mollison, who is the team's offensive architect from behind the cage and leads the conference with 35 assists on the year.

In the second game of the week, Mollison helped design five more goals for the Terps against Penn's 3rd ranked defense, accounting for two goals and three assists. Mollison moved around to the front of the cage more in this game and let Sophomore Alex Aust handle a majority of the behind-the-cage offense, showcasing her flexibility in the Maryland attack.

The Senior from Melbourne needs only one more assist to tie Assistant Coach Quinn Carney and Tewaaraton Trophy winner Caitlyn McFadden for 3rd on the all-time assists list, an honor she most likely will achieve Saturday against #4 North Carolina.
