WASHINGTON – Georgetown University's Alex Duff was named the BIG EAST Field Hockey Defensive Player of the Week, as announced by the league office on Tuesday. Duff led the Hoyas to a 2-1 victory in the 2026 road finale at Delaware over the weekend.
 
Against the Blue Hens, Duff collected seven saves in the win. After allowing an early goal just 2:02 into the contest, she held Delaware scoreless for the final 57:58 – including the last 3:10 with an extra Blue Hens offensive player after they pulled their goalie.
 
The win gives Georgetown its sixth victory of the season, the most in a single campaign since 2021.
 
Georgetown returns to action on Friday as it hosts BIG EAST foe Old Dominion in the season finale at Kehoe Field.
