Walker Named Little East Co-Offensive Player of the Week and MASCAC Field Hockey Co-Player of the Week

Worcester, MA - Worcester State College senior Kara Walker (Templeton, MA) has been selected as the Little East Conference Co-Offensive and Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference Co-Player of the Week for her performances on the field for the Lancer field hockey team last week as they clinched the eighth seed in the upcoming LEC playoffs.

In a must win game for Worcester State, Walker came through with a pair of goals and an assist in Worcester State's 4-0 win over Eastern Connecticut. Needing a victory to make the Little East Conference Tournament, Walker broke a scoreless first half tie with two goals in a six-minute span in the second half to lead the Lancers to victory.

Walker led the Lancers in scoring this year with 20 points on 9 goals and 2 assists.  Walker also tallied 3 game-winning goals on season.

Walker shared both honors with Megan Wolski of Westfield State College.

Walker and the rest of the Lancers will head to Keene, NH on Tuesday to take on the top seeded Keene State College Owls.  Last year in the Little East semifinals, the Lancers lost a, 1-0, overtime contest.
