May 25, 2006 | Women's Lacrosse
BOSTON - Matching a program record set last year, the Boston University women's lacrosse team had four players named to the IWLCA Northeast Region First Team, as was announced on Thursday. Seniors Lindsay Lewis, Danica Strutt and Mary Beth Miller, along with sophomore Jenny Hauser, were among the 16 student-athletes named to the region's top team.
Lewis becomes just the third player in BU history to earn three appearances on the All-Region First Team, while Hauser earned first-team honors for the second time in as many years. After both earning second-team accoldaes a year ago, Miller and Strutt finished their careers by moving up to the first team.
All four Terriers now move to the national ballot with hopes of earning IWLCA All-America honors.
Lewis, who scored a school-record 187 goals during her career, tallied 61 points this spring, including 54 goals. She recorded a team-high 42 draw controls and finished second on the squad in ground balls with 45. Lewis scored at least one goal in 70 of her final 72 games, including a streak of 36 straight.
Hauser turned in the finest offensive campaign in Terrier history, setting the school marks for points (102) and goals (70) in a season. The 2006 America East Player of the Year, Hauser tied the BU record for points in a game three times, tallying nine points against Massachusetts, Boston College and New Hampshire.
The most outstanding player of the 2006 America East Championship, Strutt led a BU defense that ranked sixth in the country, allowing just under eight goals per game. Strutt led the Terriers in both ground balls (52) and caused turnovers (24).
Finishing just two points shy of the school record for career points with 240, Miller was one of only three players in the country to record 40 or more assists this season, as the senior attacker recorded 78 points on the strength of a program-record 46 assists.
