Princeton Has Five All-Region Players
May 21, 2019 | Women's Lacrosse
If you want to be a women's lacrosse All-America, you have to do two things.
Â
First, you have to be great. Second, you have to be named All-Region first.
Â
Not surprisingly the Princeton women's lacrosse team has five players who have crossed both of those hurdles, as the All-Region teams have been announced.
Â
Princeton's four first-team All-Ivy League selections - Nonie Andersen, Sam Fish, Elizabeth George and Kyla Sears - are all first-team All-Mid-Atlantic Region selections. Tess D'Orsi, Princeton's leading goal-scorer for the year, was named second-team All-Region.
Â
Andersen, the Ivy League's Defender of the Year, had 76 draw controls, second-best on the team this year (and the second-best total in a single-season in program history), as well as 17 caused turnovers.
Â
Fish, the league's Goalie of the Year, led the Ivy League in save percentage and total saves and was second in goals-against average. After just two seasons, she is already ninth all-time at Princeton in career saves, and her 192 this year ranked fifth on the single-season list.
Â
George was the league's unanimous Attacker of the Year after a monster senior year that saw her set the program record for draw controls in a season and career, finish third in a season in total points (87) and fourth in a season in goals (62).
Â
Sears was a unanimous first-team All-Ivy League selection and is now Princeton's first two-time first-team All-Ivy selection after her sophomore year. Sears set the Princeton record for assists in a season with 40, and her 95 points were the second-best total in program history. She was also the MVP of the Ivy League tournament.
Â
D'Orsi led Princeton with 64 goals, which tied for the second-highest total in program history, and her 80 points ranked sixth in a season. The junior is currently sixth all-time at Princeton with 144 career goals.Â
Princeton went 16-4 in the 2019 season and reached the NCAA quarterfinals before falling to Boston College 17-12 last Saturday. The Tigers won the Ivy League championship for the sixth straight year and the Ivy League Tournament for the second-straight time and had an 11-game winning streak before the loss to BC.
