Williamsburg - William and Mary senior attacker Colleen Dalon (Moorestown, N.J./Moorestown) was named to the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Assocation (IWLCA) All-South Region Second Team on Thursday, marking her second consecutive all-region selection.

Dalon, a three-time all-conference performer and a second team all-region selection in 2005, earned First Team All-CAA status this spring, for the second-straight year, after leading the Tribe in goals (45), points (56) and draw controls (43) during the regular season. A two-time all-state selection, Dalon ranked fourth in the CAA in goals per game (2.81), eighth in the league in points per game (3.50) and fifth in draw controls per game (2.69) entering the tournament last week.

With a goal in the Tribe’s postseason loss to Hofstra, Dalon continued to rewrite the College’s record book, finishing third on the school’s career points list with 183, trailing only Pixie Hamilton (242) and Morgan Watkins (189). Dalon ranks second on the W&M career-scoring list with 132 tallies, which trails only Hamilton (218), and also rests in fourth place on the school’s career assist chart with 51.

Dalon’s accomplishments stretched off the field as well. At the school’s end-of-the-year athletic banquet, Dalon was named the 2006 recipient of the Feffie Barnhill Award, given to a women’s lacrosse player for excellence in leadership. Dalon was also the lacrosse program’s President’s Award winner, which recognizes an individual from each sport at W&M that displays sportsmanship, citizenship and leadership.

The IWLCA has honored 128 student-athletes in Division I with a selection on one of the All-Regional teams. These athletes are now eligible for inclusion on the IWLCA/US Lacrosse All-American teams, which will be announced on May 30. The IWLCA and US Lacrosse will honor the National All-Americans at an awards banquet on June 10, 2006 in Baltimore, MD.
