Cortland women's lacrosse sophomore midfielder
Kiki Meager (Syracuse/West Genesee) and senior attacker
Hannah Lorenzen (Stony Brook/Ward Melville) have been selected to the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Division III All-America third team.
In addition, three Cortland players were recently chosen as All-Americans by USA Lacrosse Magazine. Meager was a first-team honoree, while Lorenzen and senior defender
Kayla Petre (Hauppauge) were named to the third team.
Lorenzen finished the season with 61 goals and 18 assists for 79 points in just 14 games. She led the Red Dragons in goals and points, and was tied for second in assists. Lorenzen also registered a team-high 77 draw controls, and she added 15 ground balls and eight caused turnovers. She scored at least three goals in each of her games, including a school NCAA-tournament record 10 goals, along with one assist, in an NCAA second-round win at Rhodes. She also tallied seven goals and three assists in a win over Oneonta, five goals and three assists in a win at New Paltz, and five goals each in the SUNYAC finals versus Brockport and the NCAA third round against Messiah.
Meager played in 16 games, eight as a starter, and finished with 23 goals and four assists for 27 points. She ranked fourth on the team in goals and second with 74 draw controls, and she also recorded 19 ground balls. Meager scored three goals and assisted on two others in a home victory over New Paltz, scored three times in Cortland's NCAA first-round win over Transylvania, and won 10 draws in a victory at Potsdam.
Petre started all 16 games and led the Red Dragons with 24 caused turnovers and 37 ground balls. She also added a goal and an assist, with the goal coming in the NCAA third round versus Messiah. Petre caused four turnovers in a win at Clarkson and three each in wins over St. John Fisher and Rhodes. Cortland allowed less than nine goals per game during the season, including only three in a 6-3 win over NCAA semifinalist St. John Fisher.
Cortland finished the season with a 14-2 record. The Red Dragons won 14 straight games after a season-opening loss, including an 8-0 mark in SUNYAC East play, wins over Geneseo and Brockport to capture the SUNYAC tournament title, and victories versus Transylvania and Rhodes in the first two round of the NCAA Division III tournament. The Red Dragons lost to Messiah in the third round to tie for ninth place nationally.
