Erin Coykendall, a Spencerport native who plays women’s lacrosse at Northwestern University, earned Offensive Player of the Week honors from the Big 10 and IWLCA on March 28 for tallying 16 points in two games for the No. 2 Wildcats. She scored a career best five goals and added two assists in Northwestern’s 19-5 win at Johns Hopkins, and then set a new career high with six goals to go with three assists, as the Wildcats downed Stanford 20-9. She was featured on ESPN’s Sports Center on March 20, coming in at number 3 on their Top 10 Plays of the Day, for whipping the ball behind her back to score a goal against North Carolina. The play was even more special because it was her birthday. Coykendall is also on the 2023 Tewaaraton Award Women’s Watch List, which includes the top players across all three divisions of NCAA lacrosse and highlights the early contenders for this year’s Tewaaraton Award. Coykendall is a senior at Northwestern, majoring in Human Communications Study.
