TCNJ Sweeps Final NJAC Women's Lacrosse Weekly Honors of 2026 Regular Season; Lucca, Wexler, Williams Honored

PITMAN --- The New Jersey Athletic Conference has announced its women's lacrosse weekly award winners for the final week of the 2026 regular season.
 

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
MARISSA LUCCA • The College of New Jersey
Senior • Attacker • Sewell, NJ / Washington Township
 
Lucca claims the final NJAC Women's Lacrosse Offensive Player of the Week honor after a dominant two-game stretch that helped the Lions clinch the NJAC regular season title. The senior totaled 14 goals, eight assists and eight caused turnovers across wins over Stockton and at No. 17 Rowan, reaching the 300-point milestone for her career in the process — becoming just the fifth player in program history to do so. She opened the week with a 12-point explosion against the Ospreys, tallying seven goals and five assists to go along with five caused turnovers and four ground balls in a 17-3 victory. She was equally impactful in Saturday's 14-7 road win at Rowan, adding seven goals and three assists with three more caused turnovers. With the performance, Lucca also joined Leigh Mitchell and Ali Jaeger as the only players in school history to surpass 100 points in multiple seasons.
 
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
HAILEY WEXLER • The College of New Jersey
Fifth Year • Goalkeeper • Plainsboro, NJ / Princeton Day
 
Wexler has been selected as the final NJAC Women's Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Week of the 2026 regular season after turning in a stellar week between the pipes in TCNJ's two conference victories. The fifth-year goalkeeper made 12 saves across wins over Stockton and at No. 17 Rowan, finishing with a .545 save percentage on the week. She stopped six of the Ospreys' first seven shots on goal in Wednesday's 17-3 win before making six more saves in Saturday's 14-7 victory in Glassboro, helping hold the high-powered Profs scoreless for more than 36 minutes of game time. The win gave the Lions the NJAC regular season title and top seed in the upcoming conference tournament.
 
ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
ABBY WILLIAMS • The College of New Jersey
Freshman • Defender • Moorestown, NJ / Moorestown
 
Williams earns the NJAC Women's Lacrosse Rookie of the Week recognition of the year after an outstanding two-game stretch at the head of the Lions' defense to wrap up the 2026 regular season. The freshman recorded nine ground balls and eight caused turnovers across TCNJ's wins over Stockton and at No. 17 Rowan, becoming just the second player in program history to record at least 50 caused turnovers in a season in the process. She racked up five caused turnovers and six ground balls in the 17-3 win over the Ospreys before adding three caused turnovers and three ground balls in Saturday's road victory over the Profs.
