One of the nation's best players, Jonson was selected as the CAA's top defender after leading the country in caused turnovers per game (3.5) and ground balls per game (4.42). Despite suffering a season-ending injury in the win at Drexel, Jonson established a single-season school record for caused turnovers (42) in just 12 games and was one of just 25 players (and only two defenders) selected as a Tewaaraton Award nominee. The Dallas, Texas native recorded at least five ground balls in six games, while she totaled at least three caused turnovers in eight contests. A preseason All-America selection by Lacrosse Magazine's Matt DaSilva, Jonson was also a preseason All-CAA selection.
Golden garnered first-team all-league honors for the third consecutive season and becomes just the 13th player in conference history to earn first-team distinction three times. A talented all-around player, Golden ranks fifth nationally in caused turnovers per game (2.24) and eighth in ground balls per game (3.18). Additionally, she ranks sixth in the conference with 2.59 goals per game and 10th with 3.18 points per game. Honored as the CAA Player of the Week twice this season, the Manhasset, N.Y., native recorded 12 multi-goal efforts and posted eight hat tricks. With the impressive junior campaign, she now ranks second on the program's career goals list with 133 ? a figure that ranks fourth nationally among all active non-seniors. Additionally, her 165 career points ranks fifth all-time at the College and is fourth nationally among all active non-seniors. Earlier this season, Golden was selected to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List.
One of the CAA's top attackers, Zulty garnered second-team all-league honors after a tremendous senior season in which she led the team with 58 points. The co-captain ranked among the league's top 10 in numerous categories, including goals per game (2.59), assists per game (0.94), points per game (3.41) and game-winning goals (3). Zulty finished the regular season with a team-high nine hat tricks, four of which came against conference opponents. One of her best performances of the season came in the win against Oregon when she totaled eight points on three goals and five assists en route to earning CAA Player of the Week honors.
Wannen earned second-team all-conference honors for the second straight year after another impressive season. The Silver Spring, Md., native established a single-season school record with 51 draw controls and ranked 25th nationally with 3.0 draw controls per game. In addition to totaling at least five draw controls in five games, she has established herself as a scoring threat as well and recorded nine multi-goal efforts ? including six hat tricks. Wannen currently ranks third on the team with 34 goals.
A dynamic playmaker, Mackrides started all 17 games for the Tribe this season and established herself as one of the conference's top freshmen. The Newtown Square, Pa., native ranked fifth on the team with 21 goals and 28 points and finished the season with six multi-goal performances. She played particularly well down the stretch, as she registered a pair of hat tricks in the final three games of the regular season and averaged 2.6 points per game during the final five contests.
