Dover High lacrosse player Regan Torbert was voted this week’s Athlete of the Week. The only senior on the squad, the goalie has helped the Senators to a school record 12-3 mark this season.

A starter since she was a freshman, Torbert has 437 career saves, recording her 400th save in Dover’s win over Sussex Academy. She will study nursing and continue her playing career at Stevenson University.

“She is the leader of our defense and does exceptionally well at reading the field,” said Senators’ coach Molly Phillips. “She came up with some big saves this season and is definitely a big reason why Dover won 12 games.”
