All-North Coast Athletic Conference Release

Senior goalkeeper Katie Shideler was voted North Coast Athletic Conference Defensive Player of the Year, while the NCAC runner-up College of Wooster women's lacrosse team comprised half of the All-NCAC East Division team, as announced by the conference office on Wednesday morning. Joining Shideler on the all-conference team were senior attacker Ashley Boersma, senior midfielder Katie Harvey, senior defender Lauryn Hill, senior attacker Alexa Mellis, and senior midfielder Miura Wiley.

The mathematics and physics major currently ranks in the top-25 nationally in save percentage, and she entered the week 30th in Div. III in saves. Shideler logged six double-digit save performances on the year, three of which came in NCAC divisional play.

III with 4.30 goals per game, is currently second in the NCAC in goals. She tied Wooster's single-game record with eight goals during a 22-13 win over Allegheny College on April 10, with that ranking as the sixth eight-goal game in program history.

Harvey, part of a midfield that entered the week 12th in Div. III with 17.10 draw controls per game, ranked second on the team with 49 this spring. The global and international studies major won 11 draw controls during Wooster's 22-13 win over Allegheny on April 10 and averaged 6.5 draw controls per divisional game. Harvey ranked third on the team in goals with 20 and added 19 groundballs on the year.

Hill, a three-year starter, was part of a defensive unit that ranked third within the conference in goals allowed (11.5). The biology major logged 14 groundballs on the year, nine of which came in divisional play. Hill opened divisional play with back-to-back four-groundball, two-caused turnover contests against Allegheny.

Wiley, one of Wooster's top all-around players, finished the year with 46 draw controls, 26 groundballs, 29 points, 17 goals, 12 assists, and 10 caused turnovers, with each stat but the goals ranking in the top five on the team. Wiley tracked down 11 draw controls in a 22-13 win over Allegheny on April 10, a game in which she scored four goals and assisted on two others.

With the shift to divisional format in women's lacrosse due to COVID-19, the NCAC adopted an East Division and a West Division all-conference squad in lieu of traditional first- and second-team all-conference designations.
