NMU's Lakosky and Langsdale named GLIAC women's lacrosse players of the week

GLIAC -- The Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) has announced its weekly awards following the 12th week of play of the 2025 women's lacrosse season. Northern Michigan swept the honors, with sophomore forward Josie Lakosky earning GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week and sophomore defender Sophie Langsdale receiving GLIAC Defensive Player of the Week. 

OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Josie Lakosky, Northern Michigan
A sophomore forward from Victoria, Minnesota, Josie Lakosky has earned her fourth GLIAC Player of the Week honor this season. The reigning GLIAC Freshman of the Year turned in a solid performance, including a hat-trick and a pair of ground balls and caused turnovers, marking only the second time this season and fourth time in her career that Lakosky has recorded a hat trick and 2+ ground balls and caused turnovers in the same game. Lakosky started in her 35th consecutive game on Saturday, where she scored two crucial goals just 16 seconds apart in the fourth quarter to give NMU a two-goal lead, and is setting career-highs in every offensive statistical category.
DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Sophie Langsdale, Northern Michigan
A sophomore defender from Rochester, Minnesota, Sophie Lansgdale has earned her first-career GLIAC weekly honor thanks to her efforts in the 9-8 win over CSP on senior day to end the regular season. Langsdale had a phenomenal day on the field, posting a career-high four caused turnovers (the most by any Wildcat in a single game this season) to go along with a pair of ground balls. After appearing in only six contests last season, Langsdale has played in all seventeen games this season, including earning a starting role in eight of the last nine games. Langsdale is coming into her own as a sophomore, as she is one of just three Wildcats to have 17+ ground balls and 10+ caused turnovers this year.
