Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges attack Grace Minturn and Pomona-Pitzer Colleges defender Carly Sullivan highlight the 2024 SCIAC Women’s Lacrosse All-Conference teams as the Offensive and Defensive Athletes of the Year.
The conference’s total goals scored leader with 34, Minturn led a CMS offense that also topped the SCIAC with an average of more than 20 goals per game. She ranked third in both goals and assists per game for an average of 4.25 points per game.
Sullivan led the conference’s best defense, which allowed just 4.2 goals per game for a SCIAC-best goal difference of 187. The Sagehens paced the league in caused turnovers with a whopping 14.8 per contest and ground balls at 27.8 while posting a clear success rate of 87 percent and receiving just 16 green cards and eight yellow cards.
CMS rookie Julia Ryan was dubbed Newcomer of the Year after more than doubling the next highest-ranked individual’s draw control total with 132 on the season. She also dished out 1.25 assists per game.
Occidental College’s Bella Kwan earned the Character Award. The Tigers midfielder generally keeps a low profile on the statistics sheet while maximizing her impact on the team through heart and hustle work. Frequently rising to the occasion and making big plays when most necessary, she is highly respected by the team for her consistent effort and leadership over a four-year career.
Laura McIntyre and the California Lutheran University sideline were named the Coaching Staff of the Year after winning not only the first game since the program was started in 2020, but a total of four this season including a pair of conference matchups.
Pomona-Pitzer led all teams with nine total selections and six First Team nods while CMS had eight total, with four on each team. Chapman and Occidental garnered four apiece with Redlands getting three and CLU two, including the Regals’ first-ever selection to the First Team in Sydney Shin who led the conference in caused turnovers.
