Olivia Carlino of Belmont Abbey and Jane Hobbs of Mount Olive Earn Women’s Lacrosse Weekly Honors
GREENVILLE, S.C. – Olivia Carlino of Belmont Abbey and Jane Hobbs of Mount Olive were selected as the Conference Carolinas weekly award winners for women’s lacrosse for the week ending Feb. 12.
Carlino was selected as the Offensive Player of the Week, while Hobbs earned Defensive Player of the Week recognition.
A sophomore attack from Campbell, California, Carlino led the Crusaders in goals in each of the first two games of the season. She scored two goals on five shots with four on goal in a season-opening loss to No. 13 Wingate on Wednesday, Feb. 8. She was responsible for nearly half of The Abbey’s goals in Saturday’s 15-13 loss to UVA Wise as she scored six times on nine shots, all on goal. She had five unassisted and two free position goals on the week.
In her first career start with the program, Hobbs set a school record with 22 saves after facing 38 total shots while grabbing two ground balls in a top-25 nationally ranked contest versus No. 25 St. Leo on Friday, Feb. 10. A native of Hampstead, North Carolina, the junior goalkeeper tallied 13 of her 22 saves in the second half, as the Trojans were edged out 10-8 in the season opener.
