Maryland, the conference regular-season co-champion and the No. 1 seed for this week\u2019s ACC Women\u2019s Lacrosse Championship, leads with four student-athletes voted to the first team and five selections overall in balloting by the league\u2019s eight head coaches. North Carolina also has five total selections, while ACC regular-season co-champion Syracuse and Duke follow with four apiece. All eight of the ACC women\u2019s lacrosse teams placed at least one player on the squad.<\/p>\n

The first team includes the ACC\u2019s top two overall scorers in Syracuse\u2019s Kayla Treanor (5.31 points per game) and the top two goal scorers in Treanor (3.62) and North Carolina\u2019s Abbey Friend (3.31). Nine of the ACC\u2019s top 10 overall scorers and nine of the top 10 goal scorers were voted to either the first or second team.<\/p>\n

Defensively, the first team features Virginia goalkeeper Liz Colgan, whose 10 saves per game leads the conference and ranks sixth nationally. Second-team selection Margaret Smith of Notre Dame ranks sixth nationally with 2.19 turnovers caused per game.<\/p>\n

The All-ACC First and Second Teams include a number of other national statistics leaders. Treanor ranks fifth among NCAA Division I players in goals scored, and Friend is ninth. Treanor ranks second nationally in total points scored, while second-team selections Kerrin Maurer of Duke (4.8) and Covie Stanwick of Boston College (4.6) rank sixth and seventh respectively.<\/p>\n
