BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- For the second time this season, Bridgewater State College sophomore defender Erin Quimby has been named the New England Women's Lacrosse Alliance (NEWLA) Defensive Player of the Week.

A native of Chelmsford, Massachusetts, Quimby notched nine ground balls, seven draw controls and four caused turnovers as the Bears wrapped up their second straight NEWLA regular season title with wins over Castleton State, Becker and Fitchburg State. She also scored three goals and added an assist.

Quimby tallied five ground balls, four draw controls and two caused turnovers in BSC's 27-15 win over Castleton. She was also instrumental in helping to shut down NCAA Division III single-season goal scoring record holder Tammy Mullen to just a goal and an assist in the Bears'26-10 victory over Becker.

In 16 games this season, Quimby has 32 ground balls, 27 draw controls and 18 caused turnovers to her credit. She has also scored three goals and added four assists.

 Quimby, who was also named defensive player of the week back on March 16th, currently ranks second on the team in ground balls and caused turnovers, and is fifth in draw controls.

Bridgewater State wrapped up the regular season with an overall record of 12-4 with a perfect 7-0 mark in NEWLA play.  The Bears have won 16 straight games against NEWLA opponents since rejoining the Alliance prior to the start of the 2008 season.

BSC is the top seed in the NEWLA Tournament and will host fourth-seeded Worcester State College in a semifinal matchup on Wednesday afternoon at 3:30.
