Zoe Ryan Earns SCIAC Defensive Player of the Week Award for CMS Women's Lacrosse

CLAREMONT, Calif. - Senior captain Zoe Ryan captured the final SCIAC Women's Lacrosse Defensive Player of the Week honor for the 2020 season, the conference office announced today.

Ryan helped the Athenas to a shutout in the last game of an abbreviated spring season against Cal Lutheran on Wednesday. She anchored a defense that allowed only two shots on goal, both of which were while playing down a player after a yellow card. 

A year ago, Ryan was named the SCIAC Defensive Player of the Year as a junior while leading CMS to its third straight 10-0 regular season in league play. She was also the SCIAC Tournament Most Outstanding Player after guiding the Athenas to their third straight conference championship. 

CMS concluded the 2020 season with a 5-1 record, all in SCIAC games, giving Ryan and her class a combined 41-1 record in their four-year careers against league opponents.
