Arizona State’s Jordyn Behar (attack player) and Anna Viglione (draw specialist) along with Colorado tandem of Jess Peluso (defender) and Elena Oh (goalkeeper) plus Florida’s Gabbi Koury (midfielder) and Autumn Blair (freshman) took home Big 12 lacrosse awards for week four of the season.
Behar had a 17-point weekend, highlighted by her first career sock trick in a 19-16 victory over Marquette. The senior from Mineola, New York added three assists to go along with her six goals against the Golden Eagles. She followed with a two-goal, six-assist game against USC, scoring on eight of her 13 shots in two games.
Koury scored four goals, including her first hat trick of the season against then-No. 10 Navy, highlighting a four-point game for the junior. The Birchrunville, Pennsylvania native helped the Gators score a season-best 24 goals at Stetson, scoring a goal and adding four draw controls. She added an assist against Navy to finish with five points on the week.
Peluso was honored as the league’s top defender for the third time in four weeks, as the Buffaloes held both of their opponents to single-digit scoring. Peluso caused six turnovers, while controlling four ground balls in the games against then-No. 20 Stony Brook and the 13-6 win over then-No. 19 Army.
Oh received her fourth consecutive weekly honor from the league, posting a 57.1% save percentage and a 7.50 goals against average against a pair of ranked foes, keeping her season marks for both stats within the nation’s top 10. The Chapel Hill, N.C. native had 12 saves against Stony Brook, then added six in the win against Army.
Blair scored three goals for the Gators in two games, including her first multi-goal game during UF’s 24-goal outburst against Stetson. The attack player from Downingtown, Pennsylvania added a goal and an assist against Navy, finishing the week with four points.
Viglione was named Big 12 Draw Specialist of the Week for the first time in her career, gaining 29 draw controls over two games. The 2025 Big 12 Draw Specialist of the Year became Arizona State’s career leader in draw controls with 332.
