DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. (Mar. 1, 2022) – Mercy College women's lacrosse senior Micayla Brady (Massapequa Park, N.Y./Massapequa) has been named Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Division II National Defensive Player of the Week.

Brady led a Mavericks defense that held Lock Haven to just 12 shots on goal in a 14-7 win in their opener. The senior defender caused a game-high six turnovers and added four draw controls and three ground balls to her stat line. Brady recorded her 100th career caused turnover, becoming the fourth Maverick in program history to reach that number. At 1-0, Mercy is ranked No. 14 in the ILWomen/IWLCA Division II Poll this week.

The award is the second earned by Brady this week and the Mavericks have now earned three awards on the year.

Head Coach Dawn Sachs and the Mavericks resume action tomorrow when they play at No. 3/4 Le Moyne at 3 p.m.
