After taking home the 2018 NCAA Division II women’s lacrosse championship, Le Moyne was on top of the world. Now heading into the 2019 season, the Dolphins remain at the pinnacle as the top-ranked team in the Nike/US Lacrosse Division II Women’s Preseason Top 20.
All-American Bryanna Fazio returns to Le Moyne after tallying 105 points and 78 goals in 2018. The Dolphins also welcome back the top goalie in Division II in Hannah George.
Lurking right behind, however, is Northeast-10 foe Adelphi, which will be hungry to upset the Dolphins after being swept last season. The Panthers return Alison Johnson, the 2018 NE10 Player of the Year, and Kole Pollock, who dropped 85 goals in 2018.
