CHAPEL HILL—North Carolina attacker Jamie Ortega was named the Atlantic Coast Conference Co-Offensive Player of the Week on Tuesday afternoon for her efforts in wins over Duke and Vanderbilt last weekend.
Ortega and Boston College senior attacker Charlotte North were named the ACC Women's Lacrosse Co-Offensive Players of the Week, while Syracuse graduate goalie Asa Goldstock earned ACC Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Ortega broke the UNC career goals record on Sunday in a win over Vanderbilt when she scored her 199th career goal, breaking the previous record set by Abbey Friend from 2011-14. A native of Centereach, New York, she posted eight goals and four assists in two Tar Heel wins last week, helping top-ranked UNC improve to 5-0 this season. In Sunday's 17-6 win over No. 25 Vanderbilt, Ortega finished with four goals and three assists for a game-high seven points, two days after tallying four goals and one assist in Friday's 13-6 win over No. 11 Duke in the Tar Heels' conference opener.
North scored 12 goals and tallied two assists for 14 points in two victories last week. The native of Dallas, Texas, scored eight goals against Albany, tying her career high, in a 22-12 win. She then recorded four goals against No. 15 USC in a 14-8 triumph. North also racked up eight draw controls and two ground balls and played a part in the No. 4 play on the SportsCenter Top-10 Tuesday night.
