SELINSGROVE, PA -- Two Susquehanna University athletes earned Landmark Conference weekly honors, the conference office announced Monday.

Senior keeper Jess Weiss (Huntingdon Valley, Pa./William Tennent) was named Women's Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Week, while freshman Alycia Woodruff (West Chester, Pa./West Chester East) earned her second Women's Track Athlete of the Week nod for the outdoor season.

Weiss (right) played two solid games in goal as the Crusaders split two Landmark matches. She stopped 11 shots and added a ground ball as Susquehanna pulled out a tight 13-11 win over Scranton for its first Landmark victory.

Weiss followed that up with 12 saves and another ground ball in a 3OT set-back to Goucher. She lowered her goals against average to 12.70 with the two performances.

Competing against primarily Division I and II athletes, Woodruff (left) broke her own school record in the 1,500 at the Bucknell Outdoor Classic. She placed 10th in the open 1,500, running the fastest time in the conference this season with a mark of 4:43.69. Her time was faster than all 52 competitors running in the non-invite 1,500.

Woodruff has earned athlete of the week honors four times in the 2007-08 season, twice for outdoor track and field and twice for cross country.

The Athlete of the Week selections are made by the Landmark Conference office. The conference chooses athletes of the week in softball, baseball and men's and women's track, field, tennis and lacrosse during the spring sports seasons.
