BEST WOMEN’S PERFORMANCE

MEAGHAN TYRRELL

Six goals and five assists in the second game of the season? Against Maryland? Yeah, Meaghan Tyrrell very much earned her Tewaaraton Award finalist nod last spring.

ALLISON REILLY

Army has earned recent buzz thanks to the exploits of midfielder Brigid Duffy. But lest we forget her classmate, Allison Reilly. She had nine goals and three assists on April 22 against Navy, showing out in the only rivalry game that matters at West Point.

IZZY SCANE

Are we surprised to see Izzy Scane here? She dropped 10 goals on Notre Dame on February 16, an early glimpse as to the dominance she would continue all season.

SAM THACKER

Sam Thacker, the IWLCA Defender of the Year, was a one woman wrecking crew against Marquette, totaling five ground balls and six caused turnovers on April 29.
