ROSEMONT, Ill. – Northwestern lacrosse junior Erin Coykendall has been named Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week, the conference office announced Tuesday afternoon. She shared the award with Maryland's Aurora Cordingley.
 
Coykendall tallied a game-high nine points (4g, 5a) in No.5 Northwestern's 16-12 victory over No. 6 Stony Brook last Thursday. She posted a season-high five assists and also tallied two ground balls. Her nine points are tied for the third most by any Big Ten player this season.

The junior was part of a Wildcat offense that scored 16 goals, the most Stony Brook has allowed since May 12, 2019, when they fell to Maryland, 17-8, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Northwestern has won back-to-back Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week awards after Lauren Gilbert earned the recognition last week.
 
The Wildcats open Big Ten play this weekend as they welcome Ohio State to Ryan Fieldhouse at 1 p.m. on Saturday, March 19.
