GORHAM — The Little East Conference announced Monday that University of Southern Maine sophomore Jacki Kelly of Brunswick has been selected as the women’s lacrosse Offensive Player of the Week for the week of April 16-22. This is the first time in her collegiate career that Kelly has been the recipient of this weekly honor.

In two conference games last week, Kelly scored 11 goals and dished out three assists for 14 points. She also had four groundballs, seven draw controls and caused three turnovers.

The 2011 LEC Rookie of the Year, Kelly helped the Huskies post a 14-8 victory at Rhode Island College with two goals and two assists. Four days later, Kelly set two school records scoring nine goals and amassing 10 points against Eastern Connecticut State University. Kelly broke the single-game goal-scoring record of eight set by Jen Young in April 2002, and tied twice by Jessica Knight. Her 10 points surpassed the previous record of nine points shared by Young, Knight and Virginia Flood.

The Huskies’ leading scorer, Kelly has 32 goals and 17 assists for 49 points. She also leads the team in ground balls (52) and caused turnovers (36), and is second in draw controls (48).

Southern Maine (6-9; 2-2) has two games remaining in the regular season. USM will host conference leader Plymouth State University today at 4 p.m.
