The Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) has honored Lauren Glavin  and Andrea Gunsalus of the St. John Fisher College women’s lacrosse team. Glavin earned Empire All-Region First Team honors, while Gunsalus was named to the Second Team.  

Glavin, after making the Second Team last year, is coming off a junior season where she totaled 51 goals, 27 assists and 78 points, all of which are Fisher single-season records. For her career, she ranks first at Fisher in assists (60) and second in both goals (139) and points (199). Glavin was also selected to the Empire 8 Conference First Team for the second straight year and was the Conference Rookie of the Year in her first season.

Gunsalus,a senior defender, led the Cardinals this past season with 28 caused turnovers as she led the defense. In each of the past three seasons, Gunsalus has caused at least 18 turnovers and she finished her career with a total of 80 caused turnovers ranking her third in Fisher history. A four-year starter, she started 68 of 72 games and helped the Cardinals to a 43-30 record including two NCAA Championship appearances. Gunsalus was named to the Empire 8 Conference Second Team this season and was on the First Team last year.

The Cardinals (11-7) advanced to the post season for the second time in three years with a birth in the NCAA Division III Championship. After defeating College of Wooster 17-12 in the first round of the tournament the Cardinals bowed out at the home field of the eventual Division III Champions in the NCAA Regional Semifinals.
