WASHINGTON – Saint Joseph's graduate student Ava Smith has earned weekly honors from the Atlantic 10 for the second consecutive week as she was named the conference's Co-Offensive Player of the Week, the league office announced on Monday afternoon.
 
Smith had a record-breaking day on Friday, tying the program record with four goals and setting a new program high mark with nine points as the Hawks routed Lock Haven, 9-0, on the road.  After assisting on the game's first goal, Smith tallied the next three to send the Hawks into halftime with a 4-0 lead; early in the fourth quarter, she scored her fourth of the day to tie the longstanding single-game goals record and surpass the single-game points record, both of which were first set in 1990.
 
The Glasgow, Scotland, native leads the Hawks and is tied for third in the league with 10 goals, and her 21 points rank her fourth in the A-10.
 
Smith and the Hawks host VCU on Friday before welcoming Drexel to Ellen Ryan Field on Sunday.
