BOSTON - Following an outstanding performance leading Boston University to the 2002 America East Women's Lacrosse Championship, senior defender Gabby Juocys (Rochester, MI) has earned Warrior/Inside Lacrosse Player of the Week honorable mention for the week ending May 7.
Juocys, who was named Tournament Most Outstanding Player, led B.U. to an 11-5 win over New Hampshire in the America East title game, scoring two goals and forcing three turnovers. In the Terriers' 19-4 win over Albany in the semifinals, Juocys anchored a stifling defense that limited the Great Danes to just 14 shots on goal.

During her senior season, Juocys became the Terriers' all-time leader in caused turnovers with 102 for her career.
A talented addition to the attack, Juocys contributed 27 goals and eight assists in 72 career games, ranking 12th on the all-time scoring list.
The Terriers completed their season with an 8-11 record.
