The USA Lacrosse Players of the Week recognize the most outstanding individual performances in high school girls’ lacrosse in each of the five regions — Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, South, Midwest and West — outlined in our high school coverage.
This week, we honor the top performances from the South and West Regions. Next week, we will add the Mid-Atlantic before the remaining regions are added the following week.
SOUTH
Minje Kwun, Hockaday (Texas)
As Hockaday (Texas) won three contests during a trip to the West Coast, including a pair of victories against two regional top 10 squads, Minje Kwun provided a spark. She scored 15 goals and had five assists and added 22 draw controls during the three-game trip. Kwun is committed to Dartmouth.
Also notable: Maggie Bennett, Bartram Trail (Fla.); Carli Fleisher, American Heritage-Delray (Fla.); Cassidy Jones, White Station (Tenn.); Maeve Simonds, Milton (Ga.)

WEST
Briley Volpp, Cathedral Catholic (Calif.)
The sophomore has played a big role in Cathedral Catholic’s 4-0 start to the season, which launched the team into the West Region Top 10 this week. She came up especially big in a 15-5 win over La Costa Canyon (Calif.) last week, when she tallied seven goals, one assist, six draw controls and four ground balls against the fellow San Diego-area foe. Volpp also had four goals, six ground balls and four draw controls in a 17-3 win over Santa Fe Christian (Calif.).
