Nation's top team Adelphi takes home four individual awards
SOUTH EASTON, Mass. – Adelphi University senior Devan Crimi has been named the 2014 Northeast-10 Conference Women's Lacrosse Player of the Year, the league office announced on Wednesday. Crimi was chosen following a vote by the league's head coaches.
Crimi, a West Islip, N.Y. native, is first in goals (71) and second in assists (42) among conference leaders for 113 points on the season entering Northeast-10 Championship play. She has also helped lead the unbeaten Panthers (17-0) to the Northeast-10 regular-season title and the nation's No. 1 ranking in the latest IWLCA Division II poll.
University of New Haven junior Kathryn Campbell was honored as the 2014 Northeast-10 Midfielder of the Year, as the Mansfield, Mass. native has a conference-leading 43 assists to go along with 49 goals for 92 points. She has helped lead the No. 4 nationally ranked Chargers to the No. 2 seed in the Northeast-10 Championship.
Adelphi sophomore Taylor Hayes received Northeast-10 Goalkeeper of the Year honors, as she has posted a goals-against average of 4.39 and a .466 save percentage through 15 games for the nation's top team.
Receiving Northeast-10 Defensive Player of the Year recognition was Adelphi senior Jacqueline Williams, who has helped anchor a Panthers defense allowing a mere 4.12 goals per game. Williams also has 41 ground balls, 47 draw controls and 21 caused turnovers on the season.
Panthers freshman Jackie Jahelka was voted Northeast-10 Rookie of the Year by the conference's coaches after registering 48 goals and 11 assists for 59 points in the regular season.
All five of the aforementioned major award winners also received All-Conference First Team recognition.
New Haven's Jen Fallon was voted the 2014 Northeast-10 Coach of the Year by her peers, having compiled a 15-2 overall record this season to earn a Northeast-10 Championship first-round bye into Saturday's semifinals. It is the second career Northeast-10 Coach of the Year honor for the eighth-year coach.
