Last week with six athletes nominated, readers selected Mahopac's Taylor Stillwaggon as lohud Field Hockey Player of the Week, presented by White Plains Hospital, after the junior netted two goals and had an assist, one of her goals being an overtime game-winner.
Stillwaggon joined this season's previous winners, Valhalla's Sophia Gac, North Rockland's Lila Walsh and Rye Country Day's Bailey Donovan.
This week coaches have nominated five players for the award, which covers games played Sept. 21-27.
Their accomplishments are noted below.
The poll will close at 3 p.m. Wednesday.
Alexa Butler, Clarkstown
The Clarkstown South junior scored twice in Clarkstown's 6-0 win over Nyack. She also had a tremendous game as defensive center midfielder and was strong, as she has been throughout
the season, as her team's inserter off offensive corners and flyer on defensive corners.
Liv Prata, Rye
The senior forward had seven points over Rye's wins over Byram Hills and Pelham, putting in four goals and assisting on three others.
Alexis Tighe, White Plains
The senior forward came up big over three Tigers wins. She scored in a 3-1 win over Suffern, had a goal and two assists in a 7-0 shutout of Mahopac and netted a hat trick and had an assist in a 7-0 win over Ossining to bring her season point total to 11 in seven games.
Ashley Vamossy, Pleasantville
The senior forward continued her hot play, netting two goals in the Panthers' 6-0 win over Irvington.
Lila Walsh, North Rockland
The junior midfielder, who gained top weekly player honors earlier this season, has continued to star, last week scoring both goals in a 2-0 win over Harrison and scoring both goals for the Red Raiders, including the overtime game-winner, in a 2-1 victory over Ketcham.
