CLEMSON, S.C. – Clemson women’s Lacrosse freshman Teagan Scott was named Defensive Player of the Week, announced by the Atlantic Coast Conference and Intercollegiate Women’s Larosse Coaches Association Tuesday afternoon.
During the 12-10 road victory against No. 21/21 Virginia (March 14), Scott recorded six caused turnovers and seven ground balls. The performance marked her eighth consecutive game with multiple caused turnovers, while her seven ground balls set a new single-game high this season. Scott’s six turnovers were also her second-highest total in a game this year, following her 10 CTO performance against No. 4/5 Stanford. Through nine games this season, she is averaging 3.78 caused turnovers per game which ranks No. 2 in the NCAA and leads the ACC. Scott also leads the nation with 35 ground balls on the season, which has shattered Clemson’s freshman record of 12 (Natalie Shurtleff, 2024) and is on pace to break the all-time season record of 57 (Senior Summer Agostino, 2025).
This is the second time this season that Scott has been named a recipient of both the ACC and IWLCA weekly defensive awards, having done so a month ago to this day (Feb. 17). On that day, Scott was named Co-ACC Defensive Player of the Week meaning she earned the sole ownership of both awards this time around.
The IWLCA National nod marked the fifth National Player of the Week Award in program history (third player in program history) to earn this recognition. Scott becomes the first Tiger to win an IWLCA Weekly Award twice in one season.
The ACC Weekly honor marked the fifth Player of the Week award (fourth player in program history) that the program has received.
