FULL NE10 RELEASE
MANSFIELD, Mass. – After returning to the Northeast-10 Conference tournament for the first time under head coach Margaret Maclean, a pair of Chargers capped off their senior seasons earning All-Conference accolades as announced by the league office on Wednesday.
Leading the postseason honors was defender Kelli Jacobson (North Branford, Conn./North Branford) who scored a spot on the All-Conference Second Team. Despite being listed as a defenseman, Jacobson is a key played on both ends of the field as she plays a critical role in the penalty corner offense.
Starting all 19 games on the season, Jacobson wrapped up her senior season with seven points on a pair of goals and three assists. Among her two goals was a game-winning tally which came in a road NE10 win over Saint Michael's. Together with this season's numbers, Jacobson closes out her career with 24 points on nine goals and six assists as she concludes her career among the top-10 in total points, goals and assists.
Also among the career top-10 is graduate attack Abby Nixon (Wrentham, Mass./King Phillip Regional) who picked up an All-Conference Third Team honor after leading the Chargers with nine goals and adding a single assist for 19 points. Nixon's stick got hot late in the season as she saw eight of her nine goals come in the final nine games of the season, including setting a career-best and individual game school record drilling the backboard four times in the Chargers road win at Saint Michael's.
Nixon's 19 points on the season was second most on the team but propels her into the top spot in the career record book for total points as she concludes her career with 58 total points. Additionally, she moves into the No.1 position in total goals with 23 for her career, while she wraps up he time with the Blue and Gold third with 12 total assists.
Following its first-round game in the NE10 Championship, the Chargers close out the 2024 campaign with an 8-11 overall record after posting a 7-6 mark in conference play to finish seventh among the league's 14 teams.
