Women's Soccer Set to Honor 2019 Seniors in Regular Season Finale

HARRISONBURG, Va. - The James Madison women's soccer team is set to take on Drexel at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 27, with seeding and placement in the 2019 CAA Tournament on the line.

Prior to Sunday's contest, the Dukes will honor the six members of the 2019 senior class--Haley Crawford, Phoebe Dinga, Maia Foley, Lizzy Lazzaro, Hannah McShea and Claire Meiser--for their leadership and careers at JMU.

Make sure you check out quotes and photos from the Dukes' seniors across their four years at JMU.

Haley Crawford
Haley will depart James Madison as one of the most decorated attackers in program history. After earning two All-CAA Second Team nods and the 2016 CAA Rookie of the Year award across her first two seasons, Haley raised her game last year as a junior, earning First Team All-CAA, All-East Region and All-State accolades while racking up nine goals and six assists.

This season, she has continued her tear, scoring four more goals and adding 10 assists, seventh-most in the nation, entering this afternoon's match. She has also put herself among JMU's all-time greats, currently ranking 13th in career goals, seventh in career points and fourth in JMU history with 32 career assists across her 77 matches.

Phoebe Dinga
Dinga has also been a crucial member of the JMU offense across her four years. This season has seen her play in every match for the Dukes, starting eight, while providing a highlight reel goal in JMU's 1-0 win at LSU and an impressive six assists, second-most on the team. In all, Phoebe has played in all but one match for the Dukes across the last three seasons.

Maia Foley
Foley has been one of the Dukes' most versatile players in her career at JMU, playing in more than 50 matches in both the midfield and defense. This year, as a senior, she has started 14 matches and added a pair of goals and an assist to her resume, including the opening goal of the Dukes' 6-0 victory over Towson two weeks ago

Lizzy Lazzaro
Lazzaro closed out her career earlier this season, but has continued to be an incredible leader and teammate for the Dukes after transitioning to the sideline. In four years, Lizzy played all but six matches, starting 56, while anchoring central positions in both the midfield and backline, tallying five goals and a pair of assists along the way. She was named Third Team All-CAA in 2017, playing all but 10 minutes and scoring four goals.

Hannah McShea
McShea has spent her four years at JMU building herself into one of the Dukes' strongest goalkeepers in recent memory. All told, McShea has appeared in 55 matches for JMU, including all but two the last two seasons. Last season, McShea broke the program record for shutouts by a junior, racking up seven on her way to Second Team All-CAA honors, while also earning a spot on the President's List for both fall and spring semesters.

Claire Meiser
Meiser has established herself as a mainstay in the JMU attack, with today marking her 50th career match despite an injury during her sophomore season. In that time, Claire has already tallied seven goals and eight assists, including a career-high four during her senior campaign, tied for third-most on the team.

Entering this afternoon's match, the Dukes' 2019 senior class has already racked up 35 victories in their time at JMU, having helped lead JMU to the CAA Regular Season Championship last season, the first for the program since 2013.
