For the second time this season, Notre Dame players swept Soccer America Player of the Week honors.
Irish forward Joseph Lapira, the Men's Player of the Week, ran his streak of games with two goals to five with a pair of goals in the wins over Michigan (2-0) and Georgetown (4-1).
The Lake Charles, La., product, who also collected an assist against the Hoyas, leads NCAA Division I men's soccer in goals with 17 and points with 36.
Notre Dame sophomore Kerri Hanks, the Soccer America Women's Player of the Week, scored a hat trick and added an assist in the No. 1 Irish's 5-0 win over Seton Hall. Two days later, she assisted on both goals in Notre Dame's 2-0 win over Rutgers, which had been unbeaten in Big East play. The former U.S. U-19 from Allen, Texas, now leads Notre Dame with 11 goals.
