LANCASTER, Pa. - The Dickinson women's soccer team picked up six All-Centennial Conference recognitions on Thursday morning as the league office announced the All-Conference Teams. The Red and White earned two individual honors with senior defender, Lila Brown garnering Defensive Player of the Year and First Team, while Joelle Ma claimed both Rookie of the Year and a place on Second Team. Junior Ava Prisco accompanied Brown on First Team with classmates Norah Heacock and Bridget Merkel grabbing Second Team spots. Senior keeper, Katey Van Kirk was tabbed as the Devils All-Sportsmanship Team honoree.

Special Awards
Brown, a native of Washington, D.C., earned her third all-conference selection and second First Team pick after starting in all 21 matches for the Red and White totaling five goals and three helpers on 32 shots (16 on target). In the regular season finale at Muhlenberg she collected a goal and assist, before scoring twice in the Centennial Conference Tournament first round victory over Washington (Md.). At the other end of the pitch she was a key cog in a Devils defense that only allowed 16 goals on the campaign and became the first member of the Red and White to claim the Defensive Player of the Year honor.

Ma, the resident of Summit, New Jersey, made a huge statement in her first season with Dickinson appearing and starting all 21 fixtures for the Devils racking up six goals and a team-high eight assists to go along with 30 shots (14 on frame). Against Muhlenberg in the regular season finale she posted a season-high four helpers picking up one on every goal of the Devils 4-0 win. Then, in the Centennial Conference First Round versus Washington (Md.) she setup Brown for a pair of headed goals off of corner kicks as well as adding a 45-yard free kick banger. Ma became the second Red Devil to be named Rookie of the Year in the 13-year history of the award, joining current assistant coach Meg Tate (2019) in that club. 

First Team
Prisco, out of Warren, New Jersey, started all 21 games for the Red and White ending the year with conference-leading 11 goals with two assists on a team-high 69 shots (32 on goal).
