DIVISION II

Angelina Porcello earns the honor of Division II Player of the Year and Midfielder of the Year for a second straight season after turning in a stellar final year. The three-time first-team All-American led the Setters in all major statistical categories, posting 70 goals, 47 assists, 79 ground balls, 70 caused turnovers, and 107 draw controls. In a sea of incredible performances, one of the standouts for the midfielder was against Florida Southern College back in March. Porcello scored an impressive eight goals on eight shots while also forcing eight turnovers. Porcello is the only player in the country to have that stat line in at least the last six seasons. In addition, no player over that time has had eight goals in a game and eight caused turnovers in any other game in a season, let alone in the same game. Porcello recorded at least one point in each of the Setter's games while scoring in every game except for one. She set many milestones this year including her 200th goal, 100th ground ball, 100th caused turnover, and 200th point.

Graduate attacker Jackie Stoller, a four-time IWLCA and USA Lacrosse Magazine First Team All-American from Wayland, Mass., capped a stellar career on the field with numerous accolades. She earned her second straight SSC Player of the Year, being changed to Attack Player of the Year in 2024, where she was also back-to-back first team all-league. She rewrote the record book in her final season breaking the single-season individual goals record (78) and points (122). In just two years and 43 games played, she registered a point in all 43 games and scored at least one goal in 42-of-43 games, with a career-best seven goals twice in 2024.

Alexandra Quinn, a second-team IWLCA All-American last year and the NE10 Defender of the Year this year, earned the first-team nod after a strong season leading the Pace defense. Quinn started in 21 games and finished with three goals, four assists, 40 ground balls, 43 caused turnovers, and 86 draws. Quinn caused at least three turnovers in eight goals, four turnovers in four games, and five turnovers in one contest. The five turnovers came against Mercy where she also added four ground balls and four draw controls. Against Georgian Court University, Quinn picked up three ground balls and caused the same number of turnovers. In a rematch of last year's national semifinal against Florida Southern, Quinn picked up six draw controls. She once again stuffed the stat sheet against Franklin Pierce University with three ground balls, four caused turnovers, and seven draws. Some other notable performances from the Eastport, N.Y. native include three ground balls, four caused turnovers and three draws against Assumption and three caused turnovers and five draws against Franklin Pierce in the NE10 Quarterfinals.

Abby Simonetti, a junior goalkeeper, achieved a 10-7 record with a goals-against average of 8.96, making 238 saves this year. In her first season at ESU, she was named a First Team IWLCA All-American and ranked third nationally in saves per game (11.33) and 13th in goals-against average. The Millington, Md. native also became the first IWLCA First Team All-American goalie in ESU history.
