IWLCA ALL-AMERICA TEAMS | IWLCA MAJOR AWARDS
Le Moyne Nets League-Best Three All-Americans.
MANSFIELD, Mass. – Bentley's Eliza Bresler highlighted the announcement of the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) All-America teams and major award winners in early June, as she was selected National Goalkeeper of the Year after an outstanding season as a graduate student for the Falcons.
Bresler, one of four players from the Northeast-10 Conference to earn IWLCA First Team All-America honors, led all of Division II in save percentage (.599) and total saves (169) – while ranking sixth in goals against average (7.76). She also was selected NE10 Northeast Division Goalkeeper of the Year and landed on First Team All-Conference.
Now a two-time IWLCA All-American (2019, 2021), Bresler led the Falcons to their first-ever NE10 Championship with a 9-8 victory over Adelphi on May 9. She was named the Most Outstanding Player following the contest and helped Bentley make its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance.
In addition to Bresler, the NE10 had three other players earn First Team recognition – including Le Moyne's Olivia McEntee and Erin McMullen, as well as New Haven's Raven Linton. For McEntee, it is her third All-America nod and her second-consecutive to the First Team, while for McMullen, it is her first All-America honor. Linton is a three-time All-America honoree and a two-time First Team player.
McMullen was named the NE10's Southwest Division Attacker of the Year, while Linton was the Southwest Division Defensive Player of the Year. Both players, in addition to McEntee, were chosen for NE10 First Team All-Conference.
Le Moyne had a league-high three players earn IWLCA All-America status, as Sydney Meagher was named to the Second Team – along with Adelphi's Kole Pollock, the 2019 IWLCA Division II Player of the Year. Pace's Carlyn Mucci earned a place on the Third Team.
The NE10 had seven players earn All-America honors overall.
