Defensive Player of the Week
Jill Ahlgren / Sr / Wilson College / Mercersburg, Pa. / Mercersburg HS

Ahlgren led a defense that pitched a clean sheet against Cedar Crest to secure the No. 3 seed in the United East championship tournament on Saturday afternoon. The Wilson back line allowed only six shots on the day, and a main reason for that was Ahlgren who caused seven turnovers, picked up nine ground balls, and won nine draw controls in the win. She added three goals and three assists offensively as well.  Nationally, Ahlgren is currently #2 in the nation with 4.75 Caused Turnovers per Game and #6 with 5.83 Ground Balls per Game.  This is the eleventh Player of the Week honor during Ahlgren’s career, fifth this season, as well as earning First Team All-Conference in the CSAC for the 2023 season.
