Justine Doyle (Derry, N.H./Pinkerton Academy) and Maddie Sage were both named to the Northeast-10 All-Conference Second Team.

Doyle, a senior defender, finished the season with 10 ground balls, 11 caused turnovers, and a draw control. Her 11 caused turnovers ranked second among the Chargers defenders.

Sage, who played in and started all 17 games, set career-highs in minutes (933:03), saves (124), wins (12), and shots faced (366). She led the Chargers in every major goaltending category.

Summer Castiglione (Brick, N.J./Brick Memorial) was named to the Northeast-10 All-Conference Third Team following a year in which the junior midfielder set career-highs in goals (19), shots (55), shots on goal (41), and shots on goal percentage (.745). Caglione's 33 draw controls ranked third on the team.

Helena Dunwoody (East Greenwich, R.I./East Greenwich) also was named to the Third Team following a season in which she posted career-high totals in goals (25), assists (eight), points (33), and picked up 108 draw controls to lead the Chargers.

Freshmen Sam Maucere (West Babylon, N.Y./West Babylon) and Sophia Minnion (Wading River, N.Y./Shoreham-Wading River) were each named to the Northeast-10 All-Rookie Team after making significant contributions to New Haven's success in their introduction to college lacrosse.

Maucere played in 16 games, starting 10, and made a big impact offensively on the Chargers back end with four goals and eight assists for 12 points. The West Babylon, NY native collected nine ground balls and caused eight turnovers. Her eight helpers led the Chargers freshmen.
