LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference released the 2025 PSAC Women’s Lacrosse All-Conference Teams and Major Award winners on Tuesday afternoon.
The All-Conference teams and Major Award winners are determined by a vote of the conference's head coaches.
In the Western Division, major award winners include Seton Hill's Mila Udovicic as Athlete of the Year, Slippery Rock's Paige Jenkins as Defensive Player of the Year, Lock Haven's Gretchen King as Freshman of the Year and Slippery Rock head coach Taryn Burkholder as Coach of the Year.
The Eastern Division major awards went to West Chester's Keri Barnett for Athlete of the Year, East Stroudsburg goalie Abby Simonetti as Defensive Player of the Year, East Stroudsburg's Sadie Kauffman as Freshman of the Year, and Shippensburg head coach Brooke DellaValle as Coach of the Year.
WESTERN DIVISION
The Athlete of the Year in the Western Division is Seton Hill’s Mila Udovicic, who tallied a PSAC-best 52 assists for the season. She added 29 goals for 81 total points,, tied for fifth-most in the conference. She also contributed with 24 ground balls, 13 caused turnovers, and 126 draw controls.
Slippery Rock's Paige Jenkins was named the Defensive Player of the Year after racking up 31 ground balls, 33 caused turnovers, and winning 55 draw controls for a Slippery Rock defense that ranked first in the conference with just 119 goals allowed.
The West’s Freshman of the Year is Lock Haven goalie Gretchen King, who debuted with 16 games played, a save percentage of .501 (second-best in the PSAC and tops in the West), and 173 saves (fifth-most in the PSAC.)
Slippery Rock’s Taryn Burkholder was selected as the Western Division Coach of the Year for the second consecutive year after another impressive season – building on last season's 15-3 overall record (10-2 PSAC) to a 15-1 overall mark (10-0 PSAC) in 2025. The Rock's 241 goals was tied with Seton Hill for most in the West while its 119 goals allowed (119, 7.6 per game) is the best in the conference. The team's 218 caused turnovers are also tied for the most in the PSAC.
EASTERN DIVISION
West Chester's Keri Barnett, voted the East's Athlete of the Year, returned to the field after an injury cost her all but the first game of the 2024 season and excelled -- leading the PSAC in goals (97) and points (123). She also led the conference with 10.88 shots per game for the unbeaten Golden Rams.
East Stroudsburg goalie Abby Simonetti was selected as the East’s Defensive Player of the Year after an outstanding season in front of the cage. She led the conference in minutes with 988, save percentage (.572), and total saves (207).
The East’s Freshman of the Year is another ESU Warrior, Sadie Kauffman, who scored 80 goals and totaled 105 points (both second-most in the PSAC) and averaged 9.06 shots per game. She added 27 ground balls, 18 caused turnovers, and 89 draw controls to her impressive freshman campaign.
Shippensburg head coach Brooke DellaValle was named Coach of the Year in just her second season in charge of the Raiders. She improved the team's record from 4-13 overall to 8-9 overall in 2025 -- and of those losses this spring, five were by two goals or less as the team found ways to stay in most games until late in fourth quarters.
