The most decorated player to ever wear the Scarlet and White on the lacrosse field, three-time IWLCA All-American Sarah Dalton left her mark in both the BU and NCAA record books during her time as a Terrier.

She finished her career as the all-time leader at BU in points (284), goals (247) and draw controls (191). Dalton helped lead the Terriers to four-straight America East Conference championships and NCAA tournaments, including two NCAA quarterfinal appearances.

Her senior season was one for the books, however, as she had the highest goal-scoring output of any NCAA player not just in 2009 but in the past 20 years. Her 91 goals that year were the fifth-highest total by a player in NCAA history.

The Cornwall, Vermont native was the America East Player of the Year in each of her final two seasons, earning IWLCA All-America First Team honors both years. A two-time AE All-Tournament Team selection, she was tabbed as the event's Most Outstanding Player as a senior after establishing league records with six goals in the championship game and 11 in the tournament. Dalton was named to the U.S. Developmental Team in 2008 and 2009.
