Female athlete of the week: Birdie Montes

This week’s female athlete of the week award goes to Birdie Montes of the university of Hartford’s women’s lacrosse team. This comes after the sophomore’s impressive performance against Delaware this past week. Montes was able to score 12 of the 20 goals in this game which helped the Hawks demolish the competition. This added to the New Jersey native’s five assists provided her career-best game to date. This was no small feet as the Hawks were able to clench a victory by the largest margin in program history. Cleary, Montes is a key player on this women’s lacrosse team and will be sure to provide even more success to this young program.
