ARNOLD, MD — A women's lacrosse player made headlines after a standout performance for the Anne Arundel Community College Riverhawks.
The athlete, Elsa Skinner, was named the NJCAA Women's Lacrosse Player of the Week for games ending March 13. Judges made their decision on March 16. AACC announced Skinner's award last Thursday.
Skinner scored four goals in the Riverhawks' only game that week, which was their season opener. The freshman midfielder also tallied an assist in that 16-4 win at NCAA Division II Alderson Broaddus University on March 11.
