Endicott Women's Lacrosse All-Conference Winners

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) has released the 2015 Women's Lacrosse All-Conference Team on Friday morning. Five Gulls have earned All-CCC honors for their efforts as they finished the 2015 regular season at 10-5 (6-2 CCC) as they head into the upcoming CCC Tournament as the #3 seed.

The Blue and Green placed three on First Team as senior Ellie Clayman (Beverly, Mass.) tabs her second consecutive First Team All-CCC nod while junior Elizabeth Reda (Wilton, Conn.) and sophomore Meghan Lennon (Canton, Mass.) were recognized for the first time in their careers.

Clayman is currently second on the team in points (45), goals (38), ground balls (26) and draw controls (52) while she is tied for first in caused turnovers (19) with Lennon. Lennon is the team leader and #7 in the CCC in draw controls (60), while sitting third on the team in goals (22), and points (33). Reda is a fierce defender in the CCC as she has 15 caused turnovers in the backfield and 19 ground balls. Reda is known for her ability to defend the ball while rarely giving up 1v1 opportunities.

Earning Second Team honors are sophomores Emily Whitney (Rye, N.H.) and Maura Grady (Marblehead, Mass.). Whitney is no stranger to the list as she was tabbed the CCC Rookie of the Year last season while Grady earns her first All-CCC Selection as a goalkeeper and first-year player for the Gulls.

Whitney is the team leader in points (63), goals (47) and assists (16) while being ranked #5 in the CCC in goals. Grady posts an impressive goals-against average being the conference leader with a 9.51 mark. The sophomore has made 123 saves on the season with a 48.2 save percentage and 66.7 winning percentage between the pipes.
