RICHMOND, Va. – The Stony Brook women's lacrosse duo of Ellie Masera and Avery Hines have captured the CAA Player of the Week and Defensive Player of the Week, respectively, as announced by the conference office today. It marks the second week in a row that the duo claimed the respective honors and the third consecutive week that Hines claimed the Defensive Player of the Week award.
 
Masera's seven points (five goals, two assists) tied a game-high in Stony Brook's 18-5 win over Hofstra on Sunday. It marked the fifth time this season that she registered seven or more points in a game (has done so in back-to-back contests). It was the sixth time this season that she scored five or more goals in a game and has done so in two consecutive outings. The senior added a game-high nine draw controls. It's the fourth time this season that she has claimed the honor. 
 
Hines' lockdown defensive play continued as she caused five turnovers and picked up two ground balls against Hofstra. The five caused turnovers were her second-most in a game this season (caused a career-high six turnovers on April 6). She has recorded two or more caused turnovers in five consecutive games. It's the third time this season that she has won the award. 
 
Stony Brook is back in action at LaValle Stadium on Thursday, April 25, when it hosts Stanford at 3 p.m. The Seawolves are 3-1 all-time against Stanford and earned a 14-11 victory over them last season in San Diego, Calif. Masera led all scorers in the win as she racked up seven points (five goals, two assists) and recorded nine draw controls.
