HIRAM, Ohio – March 16, 2026 – Kellen Wetz of men's lacrosse and Lola Thomas of softball have been selected for the Terrier of the Week award. This comes after impressive performances by each student-athlete in their respective games last week.
Wetz had the best week of his collegiate career this past week, totaling eight goals, six assists and eight ground balls over three games, all of which were victories and extended Hiram's season-long four-game win streak. Wetz notably had a career-high five goals against Earlham on Thursday, as well as a career-high three assists against Brevard on Saturday. For the entire season, Wetz leads Hiram with 22 points (12 goals 10 assists), and has now recorded at least one assist in six straight games. Wetz and the men's lacrosse team will return to action on Wednesday, when they begin PAC play against W&J beginning at 7 p.m.
Thomas was outstanding at The Spring Games in Clermont, FL last week, batting .364 with a .983 OPS in the ten games played. Thomas also recorded three doubles and four RBI, guided by a 3-for-4 day in the Thursday matchup against Roger Williams University. The junior from Painesville, OH has been off to an impressive start to the season, also stealing two bases already. Thomas and the rest of the Hiram softball team will return to action on Saturday, when they begin PAC play against Saint Vincent, hosting the Bearcats to a doubleheader beginning at 1 p.m.
