Villanova senior field hockey standout Gemma Lysaght has cemented her reputation as one of the conference’s premier talents, earning her second straight BIG EAST Weekly Honor Roll recognition.
The honor follows a weekend in which Lysaght amassed 11 points across two matches, including a decisive 10-point outing in a victory over LaSalle. She also contributed her fifth goal of the season and recorded her fourth assist, setting up Shannon Arber for a second‑quarter tally.
Her efforts were pivotal in Villanova’s 10‑0 win over New Haven, a performance that not only showcased her scoring touch but also propelled the Wildcats into a five‑way tie for first place in the BIG EAST standings, underscoring the team’s early dominance in the conference.
Lysaght’s consistent excellence has already garnered her a second career nomination for the weekly honor and the BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Week award, marking her as a key driver of the Wildcats’ surge at the start of the season.
Looking ahead, the Wildcats are slated to face Queens University of Charlotte on Friday, September 11, at noon, a matchup that will test their momentum as they vie for the conference lead.
