WESTFIELD, Mass. – After scoring her eighth career hat trick over the weekend, senior forward Delaney Parker (Orange, Mass.) received the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Week honors in a 2-0 week for the Owls.
Parker tallied four goals and added an assist across both games, starting with a goal and an assist in Westfield's 3-0 victory over Smith College on Tuesday. On Saturday, with the Owls falling behind 2-0 in the first half, Parker netted three unanswered goals to vault Westfield to a 3-2 win over Worcester State.
