Sheridan, Hauser Earn Final America East Weekly Awards
May 2, 2005 | Women's Lacrosse
BOSTON - Senior goalkeeper Anne Sheridan (Baltimore, MD) and freshman attacker Jenny Hauser (Alexandria, VA) were honored for their efforts in the Terriers' two wins last week as the duo received the final America East weekly awards as announced on May 2.
Sheridan was named America East Player of the Week while Hauser received her sixth America East Rookie of the Week honor.
B.U. extended its win streak to 11 games with two pivotal victories last week. The Terriers knocked off second-ranked Dartmouth, 10-9, on April 27, before downing conference-rival New Hampshire, 10-9, in overtime on May 1. With the win over the Wildcats, the Terriers clinched the America East Regular-Season title and earned the right to host the conference tournament at Nickerson Field.
Sheridan continued her outstanding play last week, posting nine saves in the win over the Big Green and 12 saves in the victory over the Wildcats. On the season, she leads America East and ranks in the Top 5 in the nation in goals against average (6.96) and save percentage (.581). She enters post-season play with 140 saves, which is tied for the ninth-highest single-season save total in program history. The weekly award is the fourth this season for Sheridan and eighth of her career.
Hauser was dominant on the attack in the two wins. Against Dartmouth, she scored three goals on five shots. In the win over UNH, she totaled a team-high five points off three goals - including the game-winner - and two assists. Entering the post-season, Hauser leads America East in goals with 50, which is tied for the second-highest single-season goal total in program history. Her 62 points best the previous B.U. freshman scoring record of 59, set by teammate Mary Beth Miller (Berlin, NJ) in 2003.
Top-seeded B.U. will face fourth-seeded UMBC (5-9, 3-3) in an America East Championship semifinal game on Thursday, May 5, at 1:00 p.m. Second-seeded New Hampshire (10-7, 5-1) will take on third-seeded Albany (6-11, 4-2) in the other semifinal game at 3:30 p.m. The winners will advance to the title game on Saturday, May 7, at 1:00 p.m.
