CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia’s Lucy Hyams has been named the ACC Field Hockey Offensive Player of the Week, as announced Tuesday (Sept. 22) by the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Hyams had a hand in three of Virginia’s four goals in 4-2 win over No. 7 Duke on Friday. She assisted on the first goal, setting Riley Tata up for a tap in 3:44 into the game and then gave the Cavaliers a 2-0 lead seven minutes into the game after dribbling past defenders, into the circle and firing off a shot.
