UD Lacrosse Star Rishko Earns First-Ever ASUN Conference Honor for Blue Hens

A University of Delaware women’s lacrosse player has made program history by capturing the team’s inaugural Atlantic Sun Conference weekly honor.

Senior defender Ella Rishko earned ASUN Defensive Player of the Week recognition, the conference announced Monday. The achievement represents a milestone for the Fightin’ Blue Hens, who are competing in their debut season as members of the Atlantic Sun Conference.

Rishko’s stellar defensive efforts during Delaware’s pair of conference wins against Jacksonville and Stetson earned her the weekly accolade. The recognition highlights her impact in helping the Blue Hens secure victories in crucial ASUN matchups.

The honor signals a strong start for Delaware’s transition into the Atlantic Sun Conference, with Rishko leading the way on the defensive end for the women’s lacrosse program.
