For the second time in her career, Calvin College junior Emily Cefaratti has been named the MIAA Offensive Player of the Week in women's lacrosse.

A native of Hindsale, Illinois, Cefaratti scored 12 goals last week in leading Calvin to victories over Thomas More and Transylvania last weekend.

A graduate of Hinsdale Central High School, Cefaratti scored six goals in a 12-4 win at Thomas More last Friday and came back to score six more times in a 14-13 overtime win at Transylvania on Saturday.

Cefaratti scored on 12 of her 18 shot attempts on the weekend for an impressive shooting percentage of .667. She was also credited with five ground balls on the weekend and four draw controls won.

In Saturday's come-from-behind win at Transylvania, she scored four of her six goals in the second half to lead the Knights to the comeback win.
