April 18, 2016 | Women's Lacrosse
CENTER VALLEY, Pa. – Army West Point freshman Izzy McMahon earned Patriot League Rookie of the Week honors, as the league announced its weekly awards on Monday.
The conference recognition is the first of McMahon's career and she becomes the second Army player to win the award this season after classmate Nikki Polhamus was selected on Feb. 22.
McMahon led Army with a season-high four goals in a 12-9 loss to American on April 16. She netted three of those goals during the second half to lead a comeback charge that brought the Black Knights from five goals down to a one-goal deficit late in the second period.
McMahon also added a pair of draw controls in the setback and successfully converted her only free-position shot of the contest.
A Bardonia, N.Y., native, McMahon has eight goals through five games this season since joining the team in late March. She has 1.60 goals per game and ranks second only to sophomore Amy Johnston (1.64 goals per game) among Army players in the category.
Army (5-9 overall, 0-6 Patriot League) closes out the home portion of its 2016 schedule on Wednesday, April 20 when it hosts Colgate at 4 p.m.
