Rochester Sees Four Earn Liberty League Weekly Honors

4/13/2026 2:49:00 PM

Four members of the University of Rochester softball, women's lacrosse and women's track and field teams secured Liberty League Weekly Honors, as announced by the conference on Monday.
 
Softball junior Julianna Lyons and senior Molly Broccolo were named the Liberty League Softball Performer and Pitcher of the Week, respectively, while women's lacrosse junior Anna Rogers earned Liberty League Women's Lacrosse Offensive Performer of the Week honors, and women's track and field first-year Lauren Murphy was named the Liberty League Women's Rookie of the Week.
 
Broccolo picked up three of UR's four wins over the weekend in the circle, posting a 0.54 ERA across 13 innings. The senior combined on two shutouts, allowed 13 hits and just 2 runs (1 earned) along with 3 walks, while striking out 10 batters in her outings. Opponents hit .250 against the right-hander, who improves to 8-4 overall on the year. On Sunday, in a sweep of SLU, Broccolo pitched a combined eight innings over the two games, did not allow a run, struck out 9, and surrendered just 3 hits in each contest.
 
Lyons hit .583 (7-for-12) over the weekend as the Yellowjackets went 4-0 across four Liberty League games. The junior infielder added 7 runs scored, 3 home runs, and a team-high 7 RBI across the games. She slugged 1.333, chipped in one walk and one HBP to reach base at a .643 clip, also going 2-for-2 on stolen base attempts. She was also 6-for-6 on fielding chances. Lyons had three multi-hit and multi-RBI games over the weekend, scoring a run in each game, including two multi-run efforts.
 
Rogers had a record-setting week for the Yellowjackets, helping UR to two big conference wins over RIT (W 16-14) and Clarkson (W 13-11). The junior attacker combined for 14 goals and 1 assist over the two games, tallying 27 total shots (22 SOG), adding two ground balls and one caused turnover. On Wednesday against RIT, Rogers had a team-high six goals in the win. She backed that up with a career-high eight goals and nine points (1 assist) in URochester's road win at Clarkson. In that contest, she scored the game-winner and added two ground balls.
 
Murphy competed in the long jump, posting an event win at the SUNY Brockport Multi & Invitational over the weekend for Rochester. The first-year posted a mark of 5.69 meters, ranking #13 in Division III so far this season and number two in the Liberty League conference. She was first among 38 competitors at the Brockport meet.
