York College senior captain Katie Vautier was named the Capital Athletic Conference Women's Lacrosse Defender of the Week as announced by the conference office on Tuesday. Vautier led the ninth-ranked Spartans to a season-opening win at Goucher on Saturday to earn the award.
Vautier notched five draw controls and forced three turnovers in the Saturday win over the Gophers. Vautier also had a ground ball as the Spartans only allowed six goals before she left the game in the big win.
