Best Women's Performance
Samantha Mehalick, Marist
Samantha Mehalick had the game of her life, and possibly the game of the NCAA lacrosse year, when her team needed it the most. Marist battled Manhattan in the MAAC quarterfinal, and Mehalick came up huge for her team throughout the day — finishing with 11 goals. Down 13-10 with six minutes left, Mehalick scored four of Marist’s final five goals, including the game-winner on a free position with seven seconds left to seal a wild comeback win for the Red Foxes.
Best Men's Breakthrough
Matt Moore, Virginia
Moore was the ACC Freshman of the Year as a midfielder in 2018, but really broke through after moving to attack this past season. Moore became the first 40-40 player in Virginia history, setting a UVA record with 89 points (46g, 43a) as an honorable mention All-American for the NCAA champs. He scored the OT game-winner against Maryland in the NCAA quarterfinals and had a team-best four goals in the title game win over Duke.
