WASHINGTON, DC – Richmond's Clara Larripa has been named Atlantic 10 Field Hockey Offensive Player of the Week for the fifth time in the 2026 season, the league office announced.
Larripa helped the Spiders to two shutouts, first on the road against A10 foe Lock Haven 10-0 and at home against No. 18 Louisville, 2-0 at Crenshaw Field. She tallied six goals on the weekend, four against Lock Haven and both goals against Louisville.
In Friday's road contest against the Bald Eagles, Larripa tallied her first goal of the game in the 10th minute on a direct insert from Valen Luna Paratore on a penalty corner play. She then took over the third quarter, putting together a hattrick in just under five minutes of game action. In the 36th minute, she tallied the score on a chip shot over the goalkeeper. Her second goal of the quarter came in the 39th minute after settling a bouncing pass from Malena Magnano to send a hard shot into the back of the net. She wrapped up her scoring for the day by putting in the rebound off her own shot in the 41st minute of action
Against No. 18 Louisville, Larripa put the Spiders up 1-0 30 seconds into the game. She got the ball on the restart at the 25-yard line drove into the circle and fired it in for the score. Larripa finished the game converting a penalty stroke in the 53rd minute of action.
Larripa, with 24 goals on the season, leads the country in goals, goals per game (1.50) and points per game (3.38). She has 54 points on the year, chipping in six assists.
