After stellar seasons for each of them, four Women's Lacrosse athletes have been named to the NEWMAC All-Conference Team: Ella Campbell(Foxborough, MA), Caitlyn Coates(Hanover, PA), Abby McAllister(Pleasantville, NY), and Rowan Walsh(Hampstead, MD).

Along with being named Rookie of the Year, Campbell was also a 1st Team All-Conference player. 

Joining Campbell on the 1st team is the rock of the Bears defense; Rowan Walsh. Walsh had 34 ground balls and 30 caused turnovers in her junior season while starting every game.
