Freshman Kathleen Zichelli earned All-American status after a stellar rookie campaign.

BALTIMOERE – Three members of the Lock Haven University lacrosse team have been named to the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) and U.S. Lacrosse NCAA Division II All-American Team.

Both junior Jessica Blickenstaff (Thurmond, Md./Catoctin) and sophomore Leigh Titus (Towaco, N.J./Montville) earned a spot on the First Team, while freshman Kathleen Zichelli (South Orange, N.J./Columbia) earned All-American status after grabbing a spot on the second team.

This marks the third straight time Blickenstaff has earned All-American honors in her remarkable three-year career as a Lady Eagle.

Titus and Zichelli are both first time All-Americans.

Both Bickenstaff and Titus were members of the 2008 IWLCA South All-Region First Team, while Zichelli was a second teamer.

Blickenstaff led LHU in every major offensive category including goals, assists and points with 75, 43 and 188, respectively. She also had a team-high five game winning goals.

Over her three year career she has tallied 210 goals and 317 points, which are both LHU records. Blickenstaff’s 107 assists is second best all-time in school history.

This season Blickenstaff scored at least one goal in every game including a season-high seven goals in a win over Millersville. She tallied a season-best 12 points in a win over Shippensburg.

Titus scored 72 goals on the year, which was second best on the team. She also dished out 24 assists and recorded 96 total points.

She scored at least one goal in all, but one game this season. She scored nine goals in a game against Millersville early in the season and recorded a season-best 13 points in a win over Bloomsburg University in a PSAC Semifinals.

Her 13-point outing was the best individual scoring performance of any Lady Eagle this season.

Zichelli enjoyed a stellar rookie campaign as she helped to anchor a strong defensive unit while playing tremendous two-way ball.

The freshman started all 19 games for LHU on defense and contributed offensively as well with seven goals and five assists.

She led the team in ground balls and draw controls with 66 and 50, respectively. Zichelli also caused 21 turnovers.

The Lady Eagles finished the 2008 season 15-4 overall and 12-2 in the PSAC, advancing to the conference championship game where they fell to No. 1 West Chester University, the 2008 NCAA Division II National Champions. Along with the Haven’s three All-Americans in ’08, they are joined by four all-region selections and five all-conference athletes.
