All Conference Team
Three Westfield State College players were selected to the New England Women's Lacrosse Alliance (NEWLA) 2009 all-conference team.
Senior midfielder Rachel Costa (Reading) and sophomore defender Rachel Dionne (Feeding Hills) were first-team picks and sophomore attacker Laura Chiricosta (Lexington) was a second team selection.
Costa scored 24 points (14 goals, 10 assists) and led the Owls with 71 draw controls. She ranked second with 35 ground balls and 12 caused turnovers.
Dionne was Westfield's second leading scorer with 87 points (66 goals, 21 assists) and led the Owls with 48 ground balls and 16 caused turnovers. Dionne, who ranks 24th nationally in NCAA Division III in scoring, also was a first-team NEWLA all-conference honoree in 2008 along with Chiricosta.
Chiricosta led the Owls and currently ranks eighth nationally in scoring with an even 100 points (75 goals, 25 assists).
