VALLEY FORGE, Pa. (Jun. 10, 2014) - For the third-straight year, LIU Post women's lacrosse senior attacker
Jackie Sileo (Wantagh, N.Y.) has been named the IWLCA Attacker of the Year, as announced Saturday at the 2014 IWLCA All-American Banquet at the Radisson Hotel in Valley Forge.
Sileo, a Capital One Academic All-American At-Large second-team and Academic All-District first-team selection, helped the Pioneers to an 18-2 finish, an appearance in the NCAA Division II national semifinals and a No. 3 ranking in the final 2014 IWLCA Top-15 Poll.
On the field, Sileo dominated the scoresheets. The senior was the top point-getter in the country for the third-consecutive year, as she compiled 59 goals and an NCAA Division II-best 89 assists for a total of 144 points. She was the national leader in assists per game (4.45) as well, marking the third time in as many seasons that she achieved that feat.
Last weekend, Sileo helped the Division II North All-Stars beat the Division II South All-Stars, 11-4, in the annual IWLCA North-South All-Star game played on the campus of Cabrini College in Radnor. Joining her on the field were fellow seniors
Katie Rotan (West Islip, N.Y.) and
Melissa Rohr (Bethpage, N.Y.). Sileo was named the game's Most Valuable Player.
Furthermore, Sileo finished her collegiate career with an outstanding 564 points (195 G, 369 A). That total ranks as the highest among all Division I, II and III women's lacrosse athletes.
For her efforts, Sileo captured her third-straight East Coast Conference Player of the Year honor, while also being selected as an IWLCA All-American, ECAC All-Star, a Tewaaraton Award nominee, and a finalist for the CWSA Honda Division II Athlete of the Year Award.
