The GoBonnies.com student-athletes of the week presented by CPL for the week ending March 9 are men's lacrosse redshirt sophomore
Owen Tasse and women's tennis junior
Isabella Venter.
Â
Tasse was key to Bona's defense putting together two outstanding performances back-to-back in victories over Mercer and Cleveland State at home last week.
Â
Against Mercer, Tasse set the program's single-game record for caused turnovers with six as he dominated the Bears attack. Tasse and the Bonnies defense held Mercer to just one second half goal as the Bonnies won, 9-5.
Â
He also helped the defense lock down Cleveland State on Saturday, holding the Vikings to just six goals in an 8-6 victory.Â
Â
The Ottawa, Ontario native also scooped up five groundballs during the week.
Â
Venter went 2-0 in singles and 1-0 in doubles action for the Bonnies against Georgetown and Seton Hall last week. Against the Hoyas Tuesday, Venter and teammate
Cirkeline Lundberg helped the Bonnies capture the doubles point with a 6-4 win at the top spot.
In singles action, Venter battled back from a set down to defeat Emily Novikov, 3-6, 6-4, 10-3, at No. 1 singles. Against the Pirates Wednesday, Venter once again battled back from a set down at No. 1 singles, defeating Anastasia Sereda, 5-7, 6-0, 6-4.
