Wallenhorst, Peacock Recognized by IWLCA
Selected to Regional All-American Second Team

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. --- Picked to finish eighth in the conference before the start of the season, Lycoming women’s lacrosse not only proved those in Middle Atlantic Conference circles wrong by finishing second in the league tournament, but also proved that excellent player performance is the lifeblood of a team’s success.  Sophomores Megan Wallenhorst (Rochester, N.Y./Irondequoit) and Kristina Peacock (Webster, N.Y./Webster-Thomas), two of the many integral pieces to the Lady Warriors’ success, were honored for their outstanding seasonal play with Second Team All-Metro Regional All-American selections by the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coach Association (IWLCA).

Wallenhorst, voted the squad’s top offensive player by her teammates, led Lycoming with 70 goals scored and tied for the team-lead with 74 overall points.  She placed 16^th in the nation with a 3.89 goals per game average.  A MAC First Team selection, Wallenhorst scored four or more goals in a game on 10 different occasions, setting a new Lady Warrior single-game record with nine goals against Gwynedd-Mercy College.  Most impressive is the efficiency in which she scored as she attempted only 118 shots for a tidy .593 shooting percentage.

In only two years running atop the blue and gold attack, Wallenhorst has notched 111 goals, already placing her fourth in team history.  She has also scored at least one goal in each of her 31 games at Lycoming.

Peacock was stellar between the pipes for Lycoming this season.  Voted the Second Team All-MAC goalkeeper, Peacock played like a first team standout down the stretch.  In three playoff games, she sent away 49 opponents’ shots including 17 against Drew University in which she outshined first team keeper Casey O’Brien.  Just two days later, Peacock registered 20 saves in the league title match against Messiah College.

The starting net-minder in all 18 Lady Warrior contests, Peacock finished 13^th in NCAA Division III with a .568 save percentage.  She stopped 12 or more shots nine times including a pair of 20 save performances, both against Messiah.
