ROSEMONT, Ill. - Maryland women's lacrosse midfielder Jen Giles has been named the Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week after leading the No. 2 Terps to a 20-16 win over No. 7 Northwestern last week.

Giles led the Terps in one of their best offensive showings of the season, tallying a team-best six points on a career-high four goals and two assists. The junior scored three goals in the first half to pace the highest scoring first half Maryland has ever had in a Big Ten game while assisting on two goals to maintain the lead in the second half. She also posted two groundballs. 

The win over Northwestern clinched the Big Ten Regular Season Championship for the Terps, who are now 22-0 all-time in Big Ten regular season games, winning the championship in all four years. 

This marks the first Big Ten honor of the year for Giles, who on the season leads Maryland in assists with 21 and ranks third in goals (40) and points (61). 

Giles and the Terps will head to Ann Arbor, Mich. for the Big Ten Tournament this weekend, opening up against No. 23 Johns Hopkins on Friday at 5:00 p.m.
