GENEVA, N.Y.—Three William Smith College student-athletes were recently named to the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association All-Empire Region teams. Senior midfielder Sarah Dillon (Blair Academy/Oldwick, N.J.) and junior defender Sarah Davidson (South Burlington/South Burlington, Vt.) garnered first-team honors, while first-year attacker Molly Fitzgerald (Gould Academy/Sudbury, Mass.) earned second-team praise.

Dillon led the Liberty League in points per game (4.94) after scoring 48 goals and assisting on 31 more. She was named the conference offensive player of the week following a 20-point weekend that included seven goals and five assists at Clarkson. A three-time All-Liberty League pick, Dillon earned All-State honors in each of the past two seasons. She closed out her career with 128 goals and 47 assists for 175 points.

Davidson was second on the team in ground balls (29) and turnovers caused (11). She also controlled 22 draws and registered a goal and an assist. During a 23-11 rout of Clarkson, Davidson picked up a season-high seven ground balls and five draws. She caused a season-high three turnovers against eventual national champion Franklin & Marshall. Davidson is a two-time All-Liberty League pick and is making her second straight appearance on the All-Region first team.

The Liberty League Rookie of the Year, Fitzgerald was second on the team in goals (31), assists (11), and points (42) this season. She was named the conference rookie of the week three times. Fitzgerald started all 16 games this season, recording at least one point in 15 of those contests. She notched a season-high five points (3g, 2a) in a 15-5 win over Denison. Fitzgerald was a second-team all-conference pick and a first-team All-State selection.

William Smith finished the season with a 10-6 record, including a 6-2 mark in the Liberty League. Over the past 26 seasons, the Herons have posted an impressive 25 winning seasons.
