NEWTOWN, Pa. – The Lebanon Valley College Women's Lacrosse team garnered recognition from the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) on Wednesday, as the conference office announced in a release that the program earned two major awards, and six players were selected to the All-MAC Freedom Team.

Wene led the Dutchmen to a big regular season win at DeSales with seven goals on nine shots in the conference opener on April 2.
Beard was honored on the All-MAC Freedom for the second time in her career after also being named to the First Team in 2024.

Vetter was presented with All-MAC Freedom recognition following a strong first season for Lebanon Valley.
