Women's LAX Trio Earns NECC Honors
MANSFIELD, Mass. – Three members of the Mitchell College women's lacrosse team were honored by the New England Collegiate Conference on Wednesday as the league announced its annual awards.
Senior Lindsey Fairbank and freshman Abigail Rasmussen both earned all-conference honors while senior Hannah Corrigan was named to the sportsmanship team. All awards were determined by a vote of the conference's head coaches.
Fairbank was one of four midfielders who received all-conference recognition. She led the Mariners in scoring with 19 goals and eight assists for 27 points over 11 games. In league play she recorded five multi-goal games—including four hat tricks—and led the NECC in ground balls.
Rasmussen landed a spot on the all-conference team as a defender. She started all 11 games of her rookie season and finished with 23 ground balls, 22 draw controls and five caused turnovers.
Corrigan wrapped up her collegiate career with a career-high 23 goals and four assists for 27 points. She also racked up 30 ground balls and 30 draw controls over 11 games.
Mitchell (0-11 overall) is the fourth seed in the 2021 NECC Championship and will face top-seeded Becker College on Thursday, April 29 at 4 p.m.
