Junior attack woman Molly Flanagan (Simsbury, Conn./Loomis
Chaffee) was named a first-team national All-American by the Intercollegiate
Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association/United States Lacrosse Association.
Senior
defender Corinne Hennessy (Mahopac, N.Y./Choate Rosemary Hall) and junior
attack woman Kathy Dolezal (Clearwater, Fla./Williston Northampton) were named
to the second and third teams, respectively.
Flanagan
had a remarkable year with the Dutchwomen, especially considering she returned
after 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 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 '03 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 chart 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.
