GRAND LAKE, Co. – For the second consecutive year, Endicott women's lacrosse players Morgan DeShaw (Danville, N.H.) and Holly Davis (Guilford, Conn.) have been named to the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) All-Pilgrim Region teams.

DeShaw, a graduating senior and Endicott's leading scorer from the attack position, was named to the First Team while Davis, a junior midfielder earned Second Team recognition. For DeShaw, it is the third straight year she has been named to the IWLCA All Region squad.

DeShaw led the Gulls with 58 goals and 28 assists for 86 points. She scored six times in the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) championship game to help Endicott defeat Gordon 20-14 and win their seventh consecutive CCC women's lacrosse championship.
