(Lock
Haven, Pa.) - Diana
Strizki (Flemington, N.J./Hunterdon C.R.)
and Megan Dwyer (Collegeville/Perkiomen Valley), both of Lock Haven
University of Pennsylvania women’s lacrosse, were selected as
All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) players as released today.
First-year Lock Haven mentor Kristen Geissler earned recognition
as the PSAC Coach of the Year as voted on by conference coaches.
Freshman attacker Diana Strizki, one of only two rookies on the
all-conference list, earns First Team All-PSAC Offense honors after completing
a standout inaugural season with the Lady Eagles.
Strizki was Lock Haven’s top goal scorer and was among PSAC leaders
with 42 goals (2.63 gpg), and finished second in scoring with 59 total points
from 42 goals and 17 assists. She
netted goals in all but one game this season, and tallied multiple goals in 11
of 14 contests. Strizki’s season
high came in the final game of the year, a 17-14 overtime win over
Shippensburg, when she scored eight goals and two assists.
Megan Dwyer, a junior attacker, nabs her second all-conference
mention after attaining the award as a freshman in 2000. This
season, Dwyer received Second Team All-PSAC Offense honors after leading the
Lady Eagles in scoring with 60 points. She
posted 37 goals along with a team-best 23 assists, and like her teammate
Strizki, added points on the scoreboard in all but one contest this season.
Dwyer tied the school record for assists in a season (23), and in the
process, became Lock Haven’s all-time assists leader with 40 over her
three-year career.
Head Coach Kristen Geissler (Lock Haven, ’98) earns PSAC Coach
of the Year accolades in just her first season at the helm of the Lady Eagle
program. Geissler led Lock Haven
to a 7-9 overall mark and a fourth-place finish in the PSAC with a 3-3 ledger.
Not only did the season herald a marked improvement over the past three
seasons, when LHU went a combined 2-34, but it was also the first time a Haven
squad posted seven wins since the 1996 campaign.
