SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Two Susquehanna University players have been named to the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association Division III Metro Regional All-American Team, the IWLCA has announced.

Junior Giulia Umile was selected as a first-team goalkeeper while senior Liz Cipoletti was picked as a second-team defender. The squad consists of players from colleges and universities in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland.

Both Umile and Cipoletti were named Middle Atlantic Conference first-team All-Stars after leading the Crusaders to a 12-5 record and the first MAC championship in program history following an 11-10 overtime win over Drew in the title game on May 4.

Susquehanna also made its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division III playoffs, falling to 10-time champion College of New Jersey 21-4 in the second round.
