Landmark Reveals Women's Lacrosse Award Winners
TOWSON, Md. — Drew's Nikki Kleiman, who put up a conference-high 79 points this season, was voted by the coaches as the Landmark's Player of the Year for the second time in her Ranger career. Goucher, which rose back into the playoffs for the first time since 2011, took home the other two major awards, with Jojo Franklin recognized as the Rookie of the Year and Ceri Miller and her staff earning Coaching Staff of the Year accolades.
The seven conference coaches also voted 13 players to First-Team All-Landmark status, including five from Catholic after an undefeated season in league play.
Kleiman was additionally honored as the league's top performer in 2013, and this is her third year in a row appearing on the All-Landmark first team. She finished the year with 50 goals and 29 assists, and her 44 draw controls also ranked her in the top five of the conference. Kleiman scored at least one goal in every contest this season.
Franklin burst on to the scene as a contributor across the stat sheet for the Gophers. She is in the top five among conference players in draw controls (49) and ground balls (42), she ranks sixth in caused turnovers (23) and she is ninth with 49 points offensively.
Miller becomes the first Goucher coach to be recognized by her Landmark peers. She guided the Gophers to a four-win improvement from 2014, and their 11-7 final record was the program's best since the 2004 squad finished 12-5.
In addition to Kleiman, three other first team members were third-time honorees. Drew midfielder Krysta Cento completed a formidable scoring duo for the Rangers. Her 29 points in conference games was the second-highest in the Landmark, and her 61 points overall (42 G, 19 A) were third-best.
Catholic's Lindsay Brophy and Caroline DiBartolomeo also landed on the first team for a third straight campaign. Brophy registered 32 assists, including 15 in conference games, and her 62 points are second in the conference. She is also second with 10 converted free position attempts. DiBartolomeo continued to be one of the leaders for the conference's top defensive unit, ranking second in caused turnovers (28) while also contributing 24 ground balls and 18 won draws.
Her teammate on the backline, Tori Neill, repeats as a first team performer, while Cardinal goalie Tricia Pehnke cracked the top unit as well. Neill can be found in the top ten statistically in both caused turnovers (25) and ground balls (36), and Pehnke tops the league in save percentage (48.6) and goals-against average (8.52).
Susquehanna's Kelcie Ehler rounds out the three first team attack selections. Ehler was tied with Elizabethtown's Addie Stang for the Landmark-lead in goals during the regular season with 51, and she added two more in last night's semifinal win over Scranton. No one scored more than the 25 markers she put up in conference games.
The aforementioned Stang earned first team accolades in the midfield. In addition to her goal scoring prowess, she was second in the conference with 44 ground balls, helping the Blue Jays improve by four games on their 2014 win total.
Scranton senior Emily Goss was a 2013 first team honoree, and she landed back on the list this spring after cracking the top five with 38 goals, 24 of which came in conference play. Catholic's Anna Stumme, who currently has 31 goals and 27 draw controls during her sophomore season, rounds out the list of five midfielders.
Scranton's Kailyn Angelo and Goucher's Kat Carnevale join the Cardinal duo on the backline. Angelo made an immediate impact as a freshman, leading the conference with 94 draw controls. Her next closest competitors won 81 draws, while third place was well back with 49. Carnevale moves up after making the second team as a sophomore. She is third in the league with 26 caused turnovers, and she also picked up 27 ground balls.
An additional 14 players were recognized as Second-Team All-Landmark performers, led by five from Susquehanna and three from Drew. The entire list of honorees is available below.
