Four Cortland Players Earn Women's Lacrosse All-Region Honors

Four Cortland women's lacrosse players have been selected to the 2023 Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Division III All-Empire Region team. Junior attacker Toni Cashman (East Moriches/Westhampton Beach) and graduate student midfielder Amy Hoeffner (Bay Shore) were named to the all-region first team. Freshman goalkeeper Margaret Morgan (New Fairfield, CT) and graduate student defender Amanda Squillini (Stony Point/North Rockland) were second-team selections. 
 
Cashman earned all-region honors for the second straight year; she was on the second team in 2022. This spring in 19 games, 15 as a starter, she registered 39 goals and 21 assists for 60 points to rank first on the Red Dragon squad in points and third in goals and assists. She scored five game-winning goals and added 18 ground balls, 18 draw controls and 10 caused turnovers. Cashman scored five goals each in wins at Utica and Fredonia, had four goals and an assist in a win over Oswego, and scored three goals in the NCAA tournament second round at Tufts. 
 
Hoeffner started all 19 games and finished with 40 goals and 12 assists for 52 points. She ranked second on the team in goals and fourth in points. Hoeffner's 136 draw controls are the second-highest single-season total by a Red Dragon since the stat was first tracked in 1998. She also ended the year with 35 ground balls and 13 caused turnovers. Hoeffner totaled five goals and three assists in a win over Buffalo State and five goals and an assist in a victory at Plattsburgh. 
 
Morgan played every minute in goal over 19 starts this spring. She finished with a 14-5 record, a 7.79 GAA, 113 saves and a .433 save percentage. She made 13 saves in a regular-season win versus Geneseo, 12 saves at William Smith and 11 stops in the NCAA second round at Tufts. 
 
Squillini started all 19 games and ended the season with 26 ground balls and a team-high 20 caused turnovers. She had three caused turnovers in the NCAA second round at Tufts and two each in five other games. Squillini helped anchor a defensive unit that allowed less than eight goals per game. 
 
Cortland finished the season with a 14-5 record. The Red Dragons won the SUNYAC regular-season title with a 9-0 mark and earned an at-large berth into the NCAA Division III tournament for the program's third straight NCAA showing and 25th overall. Cortland received a bye into the NCAA second round before losing at Tufts to tie for 17th place nationally.

(UPDATE: 6/1/23):  Graduate student defender Kayla Sweeney (Baldwinsville/C.W. Baker) was chosen to compete in the IWLCA Division III North-South Senior All-Star Game, which will be held on Saturday, June 3, at 12:15 p.m. in Sparks, Md., in conjunction with the Division I and Division II games.
