Littleton Earns Honor: Yorktown Daily Sports Digest March 6

Welcome to Patch's daily snapshot of sports in Yorktown.

Littleton Named Empire 8 Conference Player of the Week

We thank the Hartwick College Athletic Department for the below submission and congrats to Littleton on getting off to such a great start in what is sure to be a successful college career.:

ROCHESTER, NY – It didn’t take long for Hartwick freshman Lisa Littleton (Yorktown, NY/Yorktown HS), to make her presence known on the lacrosse field. After just one collegiate game under her belt, Littleton has been tabbed the Empire 8 Women’s Lacrosse Player of the Week, which was announced from league headquarters today.

Littleton scored three goals and assisted on another in a span of 5:50 in the second half to help Hartwick to a 10-7 come-from-behind victory over Mount Saint Mary on Saturday at Wright Stadium. She also contributed three ground balls, two draw controls, and two caused turnovers.

With 16:27 left in the game, Littleton put the Hawks up for good, 6-5, with her first goal in a Hartwick uniform. She added her second of the day 59 seconds later on a free-position shot to give the Hawks a three-goal cushion.

Littleton set up teammate Brittany McCabe (Manorville, NY/Eastport South Manor HS) for her fourth goal of the day with 11:43 showing on the clock and picked up her third tally of the afternoon 1:06 later for ’Wick last goal.

Hartwick (1-0) is on the road this weekend for a pair of games. The Hawks play Maritime on Saturday and Farmingdale State on Sunday.
