Senior Mary Maloney earned her first All-America nod after finishing second on the team in scoring this season

Craig, Kelly, Maloney Named IWLCA All-Americans 

Baltimore, Md. - The honors keep rolling in for the women's lacrosse team, as three players were named to the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association All-America squad as announced by the IWLCA on Tuesday afternoon. The trio will be honored during the IWLCA Awards Banquet in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania on June 13th. 

Senior Michelle Kelly (Mendham, N.J.) and junior Jackie Craig (Rocky Point, N.Y.) were named to the first team, while senior Mary Maloney (Great River, N.Y.) was named to the second team. 

Kelly, a three-time All-American and two-time First-Team member, led the Skyhawks in both goals (56) and assists (34) in 2009.  The senior co-captain reached the 90 point plateau for the third time in four seasons, a total which no other Stonehill player has achieved more once.  Her 90 points also gave her 327 for her career, breaking the school record of 326 points set in 2003 by current head coach Katie Lambert-Conover. Kelly was also third on the team in groundballs (37), draw controls (32) and caused turnovers (21). In the Skyhawks second game of the year, she set the single game assist record with eight, helping Stonehill to a 26-4 drubbing of Southern Conn. 

Just the third player in school history to earn First-Team All-America honors in each of her first three seasons, Craig has been an anchor for the Stonehill defense. The 2009 NE-10 Defensive Player of the Year, she spearheaded a defense which led the NE-10 in goals allowed per game this season, and was fifth in the nation (8.50 per game).  The junior scored a goal and an assist on the season and led Stonehill in caused turnovers (27). She was also second on the team in both draw controls (41) and groundballs (37) while turning the ball over just eight times on her way to earning First-Team All-Conference honors.  In a match-up against NE-10 champion New Haven, Craig set season highs with six ground balls and six caused turnovers. 

Maloney earned her first All-American nod following her banner season for the Skyhawks, setting a career high with 51 goals, good for second on the team, while dishing out 14 assists for 65 total points. The senior attack scored five goals on four occasions during the season and set a career high with seven  in a 23-8 win over Bentley.   Maloney also had a season high three assists in a 21-9 win over St. Anselm.  She also picked up 23 draw controls and 13 groundballs on the season, earning First-Team All-Conference honors in the process.
