BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Patriot League announced its weekly women's lacrosse award winners and Navy's
Taylor Miles and
Felicia Giglio were among the student-athletes recognized. Miles was named Attacker of the Week, while Giglio was selected as Goalkeeper of the Week.
The duo helped lead Navy to home-opening win over Villanova, 18-5, on Saturday morning at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.
Miles recorded a career-high nine points on a season-high three goals and a career-best six assists with two ground balls and a caused turnover. Her nine points are the fourth-most in a game in program history, while her six assists are the fifth-most in school history in a single game. She is the first Navy player to record nine or more points in a game since senior
Ava Yovino had 10 points as a freshman in 2023. Additionally, Miles is the first Midshipmen to have six or more assists since Yovino had six helpers as a freshman in 2023. The hat trick was Miles' first of the season and the second of her career. Navy used an 11-0 run to break the game open and Miles had a goal and four assists for the Mids during the run.
Giglio earned her second win of the season, working 55:36 in the cage. She allowed just five goals, while registering eight saves. The junior helped Navy hold the prolific Villanova offense to just five goals, keeping the Wildcats out of the net in the entire second quarter. With her first save of the game, Giglio registered her 250th career save, becoming the fourth player in program history with 250 or more saves, joining Ingrid Boyum (2015-18) – 428 saves, Elaina Ponchione (2009-12) – 375 saves, and Annie Foky (2012-15) – 257 saves.
Up next, Navy will take on Delaware in a midweek road game in Newark, Del. on Wednesday, Feb. 18 at 3:00 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+ and live stats will be available.
