NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. – Senior attacker Mia Salvatierra (Bel Air, Md./Fallston) has been named the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Division III Offensive Player of the Week for the week of April 7-13. This is the first time Salvatierra has received the weekly honor from the IWLCA.

Salvatierra totaled 14 points on four goals and 10 assists, including her 100th career helper, in a 2-0 week for the Shorewomen. She also picked up seven ground balls and caused seven turnovers. In Monday's 17-13 win at Ursinus, the senior tied the program mark for assists in a game with a personal-best seven, becoming the fifth player to do so and the sixth time overall in team history. In the game's decisive 6-0 run that put the Shorewomen ahead 17-12, she scored twice and handed out one assist, including scoring the goal that put Washington ahead for good at 13-12 with 11:52 to go in the fourth quarter. Salvatierra also scooped up a career-topping four ground balls and tallied three caused turnovers, while tallying her 250th career point in the triumph. On Saturday in a 14-12 victory against visiting #24 Muhlenberg, she passed out three assists and scored twice in addition to netting a career-best four caused turnovers and adding three ground balls. The senior became the third player in team history to reach 100 career assists on a goal by Anna Wilson that made it 14-7 with 7:58 to go in the game.
 
Salvatierra, who was named the Centennial Conference Offensive Player of the Week earlier today, is the first player from Washington to win the offensive award from the IWLCA since Katherine Vincent '17 on March 29, 2017.
