Senior Traci Landy earned most valuable player honors from the Boston University lacrosse team after scoring an America East-leading 53 goals to help the Terriers capture their sixth straight conference title.

The attacker, who ranked second on the team with 38 draw controls, also led the conference in game-winning goals (five) and was second in shots (118). The Seaford, N.Y., native netted at least one goal in each of the Terriers’ 20 games.

For her efforts, she garnered America East All-Conference First Team and All-Tournament Team honors, while also being named to the IWLCA North Region Second Team.

Landy began the 2010 campaign with four goals in a 10-8 season-opening victory against Massachusetts and never looked back. Against then-No. 18 William & Mary, she netted a team-leading four goals to propel BU to its first 3-0 start since 2005. Later in the season, Landy matched a career high with six goals in a 17-11 loss against then-No.8/9 Syracuse.

In the America East championship game, she helped pace the Terriers with four goals, including the game-winning marker, in an 11-10 victory against UMBC. In the NCAA tournament, Landy scored a team-leading three goals against Penn in her final collegiate game.
