HIRAM, Ohio – April 6, 2026 – Hiram women's lacrosse celebrated a historic week with a little hardware on Monday late afternoon, as Janelle Steiner earned PAC Newcomer of the Week to cap off the team's first win since returning to competition this season. The Terriers went 1-1 this past week, which included a 7-5 win over Thiel at Henry Field on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Steiner was a key part of Hiram's first victory since the 2020 season, as she netted a pair of goals in the tightly contested victory. The first-year from Cleveland Heights, OH also had a combined six ground balls, four caused turnovers and six draw controls over her two games, which also included a game at Chatham on Saturday.
Steiner has been a key contributor throughout her first collegiate season, leading the Terriers with five goals, five points, 23 shots, 14 shots on goal and 32 draw controls. She also has both of the team's multi-goal games this season, also doing so against Hilbert on March 18.
The Terriers will continue competition on Wednesday, when they host Westminster at 5 p.m. from Henry Field in Hiram, OH.
