Play(er) of the Week: Olivia Lai ’23 MA ’24 Talks National Player of the Week, Postseason Hopes, and Staying Fearless
Olivia Lai ’23 MA ’24 is only in her third full season as a member of the Wesleyan women’s lacrosse team due to COVID-19, but that hasn’t stopped her from cementing herself as one of the most effective attackers in program history. Lai currently sits third all-time in career goals for the program, 25 goals away from becoming the all-time leading scorer in Wesleyan women’s lacrosse history. That might seem like a tall order, but Lai scored 15 goals in a single week this season, a performance that earned her NESCAC Player of the Week and Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Division III Offensive Player of the Week, a national honor. She tallied four goals over No. 22 Trinity, five goals against Hamilton, and then finished with a career-high-tying six goals against No. 2 William Smith College. Lai sat down with The Argus to discuss her lacrosse career, how the program has changed, and what makes this year so special.
