(Irving, TX) On Tuesday, the Big 12 Conference announced lacrosse weekly awards, and two from Sun Devil Lacrosse made the cut. Junior attacker Teagan Ng and senior goalkeeper Katie Vahle were the duo for the Sun Devils represented this week.
Both players had a career week after Ng’s career-high seven-goal game against Pittsburgh, becoming just the fifth player at the time with seven goals in a game in the NCAA this season. No player has scored more than seven goals in a game in 2024.
Ng finished the week with a well-rounded stat line after the team faced Detroit Mercy on Sunday. In two games she notched 10 goals, one assist, two ground balls, and one caused turnover.
Katie Vahle hit the 500-save mark with 11 against Pittsburgh on Wednesday. She became the third active goalie in the NCAA to see 500 saves, and is the second Sun Devil in program history to reach this mark. She is 74 saves shy of tying the program-record 576 save mark, set by Berkeley Bonneau, in the program’s record books.
Though she only played 30 minutes against Detroit Mercy on Saturday, she led ASU to tie their program best start at 3-0 after holding UDM to just one goal in the contest, the fewest goals allowed in program history.
