ST. MARY’S CITY, Md. — Senior Aiden Doyle, a towering 6-5 attackman from Annapolis, blasted his way to United East Conference Offensive Player of the Week on March 17, 2025, lighting up the scoreboard and cementing his name among St. Mary’s College of Maryland’s lacrosse elite. The Broadneck High alum’s 14-goal explosion over two games snagged him his fourth career weekly nod, making him the second Seahawk this season to claim the honor after sophomore Declan Horton’s February 17 win.
Doyle’s week was a masterclass in dominance. On March 12, he torched Messiah University on the road, piling up a season-high eight points with a career-best six goals and two assists. He didn’t stop there—scooping a personal-record five ground balls and forcing a turnover in the 26-10 rout. Three days later, he one-upped himself against Vassar College, dropping a career-high eight goals for another eight-point haul, matching his best with two caused turnovers in a 17-7 smackdown. Fourteen goals in two days, and the Seahawks soared to a 2-0 week.
This isn’t new territory for Doyle—he’s been a force since lacing up for St. Mary’s. Now, he tops the United East with 29 goals, sits second with 35 points, and ties for seventh with six assists, stats that scream MVP-caliber play. His knack for finding the net isn’t just numbers; it’s the spark lifting the Seahawks to a 5-3 record as they prep for conference battles. The senior’s stick has become a lightning rod, electrifying a squad hungry for more.
Next up, St. Mary’s welcomes Penn College (5-2) to Jamie L. Roberts Stadium on March 22 for a 1 p.m. United East opener. Dubbed Gold Rush and Military Appreciation Day, it’s a high-stakes stage for Doyle to shine. Penn’s no slouch—fresh off back-to-back wins led by freshman Elliot Dotson, who nabbed the award March 10—they’ll test the Seahawks’ mettle. St. Mary’s has home-field edge, though; last year’s 15-6 thrashing of Penn at the same venue, per college archives, hints at what’s possible.
Lacrosse runs deep here—St. Mary’s has churned out All-Conference talent like Doyle for years, and the United East, spanning Maryland to Pennsylvania per its site, is a proving ground. With spring sun warming the turf and fans packing the stands, this Saturday’s clash could set the tone for a postseason run. For Doyle, it’s another chance to carve his legacy, one goal at a time.
