Following one of the biggest wins in the two-year history of Oregon lacrosse, Ilsa van den Berg brought home some honors Tuesday.
The sophomore attacker became just the second Duck to earn the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Player of the Week following her hat trick in the Ducks’ 10-6 upset of Stanford last Saturday. The win was Oregon’s first against the Cardinal, the two-time defending MPSF champion, the first opening-season victory for the program, and the Cardinal’s first season-opening loss since 2000.
The Reisterstown, Md. native is the first Oregon player to earn the MPSF Player of the Week Award since junior midfielder Jen May received the honor on April 6, 2005.
As a freshman last season, van den Berg started all 19 of Oregon’s games, finishing second on the team in goals with 31, behind junior attacker Jana Bradley who had 34, and third on the team in total points with 42.
The Ducks and van den Berg next take on UC Davis at home on Sunday Feb. 18 as they look to go improve to 2-0 in conference play. Following the game against the Aggies, Oregon hits the road for four games on the East Coast facing North Carolina (Feb. 23), Davidson (Feb. 25), Georgetown (March 2) and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (March 4).
