Dover High girls’ lacrosse player Kyleigh Dill was voted this week’s Athlete of the Week. The junior attack netted seven goals as the Senators won twice. Dover’s 9-7 victory over Polytech was the program’s first over the Panthers since 2011.

A team captain, Dill has already verbally committed to Division I Eastern Michigan. For the season, she has 37 goals and seven assists.

“We have a very young team this year and Kyleigh is a strong leader for our team,” said Senators’ coach Molly Phillips. “Although she is a natural attacker, she stepped up to play midfield this year to help out our young defensive unit.”
