Lanpher had a standout performance in Merrimack’s regular season finale, and as a result, she concluded the 2023 regular season by earning NEC Player of the Week honors for the first time this season. The senior shortstop went 3-for-4 at the plate and slugged 1.250 with a pair of doubles to lead the Warriors to a 7-1 win over in-state foe UMass on Thursday. A local product from Princeton, MA, Lanpher accounted for five of her team’s runs after scoring three times and recording two RBI. Opening up the scoring with an RBI double in the top of the third before crossing home on a Sydney Samuel base hit later in the frame, she drove in another run in the top half of the fifth on her second two-bagger of the game.
