PITTSBURGH – Paige Petty of lacrosse and Ron Washington Jr. of baseball were named the Pitt Student-Athletes of the Week following impressive performances in their respective sports.

Petty showed why she’s a four-time All-America selection on Saturday as Pitt lacrosse defeated Louisville, 17-10, for its first ACC win in program history. The graduate student attacker from Bernardsville, N.J., set her season highs in points (7), goals (5) and assists (2) to lead the Panthers to victory. She has recorded a point in 75 consecutive games and has scored a goal in 42 games in a row. In addition, Petty grabbed four draw controls and is now over 300 for her career. For the season, Petty leads Pitt in points (44), goals (35) and draw controls (60).

In Pitt baseball’s win at Youngstown State and series victory at Boston College, Washington, Jr. had a team-best 1.489 OPS with two home runs, seven hits, three walks and a stolen base. In the series win over the Eagles, the fifth-straight over the ACC foe and third-straight series victory for the Panthers, Washington, Jr. belted a two-run homer in Friday’s win and three-run shot in Sunday’s victory.
