JMU Trio Named ILWomen Midseason All-Americans
3/31/2023 10:13:00 AM | Lacrosse
HARRISONBURG, Va. – Three James Madison lacrosse student-athletes in redshirt senior Mairead Durkin, redshirt junior Isabella Peterson and redshirt senior Rachel Matey were tabbed ILWomen 2023 Midseason All-Americans, Inside Lacrosse announced Friday morning.
Â
Durkin was named to the First Team, Peterson took Second Team honors and Matey was given an Honorable Mention by the media outlet.
Â
Durkin has led the way on defense with 28 caused turnovers and 18 ground balls on the season. Her 2.55 caused turnovers per game are good for fifth in the country and most in the American Athletic Conference.
Â
She has combined with her fellow defenders to allow just 8.09 goals per game, the fifth-best team scoring defense in the nation.
Â
Peterson leads JMU from the attack position with 43 goals and 54 total points thus far in 2023, good for the fourth-most goals in the country heading into April. These offensive numbers include five games with at least five goals. She also leads The American in total points and points average (4.91).
Â
The redshirt junior has been key in possession, pacing the Dukes with 46 draw controls which is fourth in the league.
Â
Matey has boosted JMU with a team-leading 21 ground balls and 10 caused turnovers, captaining a unit that has held nine opponents below 10 goals. Her ground ball total is tied for eighth in The American and her 44 draw controls join Peterson in the top five in the league.
Â
Matey had a season-high eight draw controls against No. 12 Virginia on March 22, out-drawing the Cavaliers by herself to help JMU thwart an upset bid.
Â
Both Durkin and Peterson followed up preseason honors from ILWomen, as both were named Preseason Third Team All-Americans in February.
Â
The trio's nationally-recognized performances have helped the Dukes to a 10-1 (2-0 AAC) record and a No. 5 ranking in the latest ILWomen/IWLCA Division I Poll. JMU is set for a matchup with Old Dominion on Saturday, April 1 at noon.
