Junior attack woman Molly Flanagan (Simsbury, CT/Loomis
Chaffee) was named a first-team national All-American by the Intercollegiate
Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association/United States Lacrosse Association it was
announced today (June 2).

 

Senior defender Corinne Hennessy (Mahopac,
NY/Choate Rosemary Hall) and junior attack
woman Kathy Dolezal (Clearwater,
FL/Williston Northampton)
were named to the second and third teams, respectively.

 

Flanagan had a remarkable year for the Dutchwomen,
especially considering that she was returning from a season-ending knee injury
that cost her the last four games of the 2003
season.  Flanagan led the Dutchwomen in
scoring with 97 points on 69 goals and 28 assists this year and will enter her
season season second on the program's all-time
scoring list with 217 points on 163 goals and 54 assists.  Already the 30-year old program's all-time
scoring leader, Flanagan trails Nina Mandel (Class of 2003) by just two points.

 

Hennessy, a four-year starter for the Dutchwomen, helped
lead Union to a four-year record of 46-20.  Her efforts led the Garnet into postseason
tournaments, the ECAC this year, the New York State Women's Collegiate Athletic
Association (where the Dutchwomen won their second championship) and the NCAAs, respectively. 

 

An all-around performer, Hennessy concludes her career 19th
on the all-time scoring list with 67 points on 50 goals and 17 assists.

 

Dolezal, who finished second on
this year's scoring char with 51 goals and seven assists, will enter her final
season ranked 14th on the all-time scoring list with 94 points on 84
goals and 10 assists.  She looks to
become just the 12th player to crack the century mark.

 

The 2004 Dutchwomen established a program record for wins in
a season with their final standard of 15-5. 
Union, which finished second in both the UCAA's
regular season and championship tournament, also finished second in their
first-ever ECAC Mid-Atlantic Regional tournament.
