USA Lacrosse Players of the Week are chosen by USA Lacrosse Magazine staff and contributors.
Division II
Jana Nuss, A, St. Leo
With a game-high seven points, Nuss had a hand in seven of her team's goals in a 10-9 upset at Flagler. Nuss also surpassed 100 career points while helping undefeated St. Leo capture its first-ever victory over a top-10 opponent.

The senior put together an all-around game in the team’s 19-8 victory over Gordon. Lucas had game-highs in goals (5), assists (5), and points (10). She also won four draw controls while picking up two ground balls and causing a turnover for good measure.
