Mary Washington Senior Jenna Petrucelli and Christopher Newport Freshman Meaghan Galvin Earn Top VaSID All-State Women's Lacrosse Honors

Complete VaSID 2014 Women's Lacrosse All-State Team

Mary Washington senior attack Jenna Petrucelli earned Player of the Year honors and Christopher Newport freshman Meaghan Galvin was named Rookie of the Year to highlight a group of seven CAC women's lacrosse players named to the Virginia All-State College Division All-Star Team in a vote by the Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID).

Joining Petrucelli and Galvin on the first team were Mary Washington's Emily Atkinson and Christopher Newport's Ashton Marshall and Emily Johnson. Landing on the second team were CNU's Erin Callahan and UMW's Emily Mott.

Petrucelli, a Cranbury, N.J. native, was a 2014 first team All-American. She was also named first team all-region and first team All-CAC this season, as well as the CAC Player of the Year. She broke UMW school season record with 85 draw contro and led the conference with 74 goals (sixth in nation).

With the honor, Galvin becomes the first player in program history to receive the state's Rookie of the Year Award. She was also the lone freshman in Virginia to earn first-team All-State honors this year. The four honorees are tied for the second-most in program history. Only the 2013 squad had more All-State selections.

Galvin received the top freshman honor following a tremendous campaign. During the year, the Arlington native ranked seventh in the Capital Athletic Conference with 61 points and eighth with 42 goals. She also established a new CNU freshman record and finished third in the conference with 66 draw controls.

Honored as the CAC Rookie of the Year as well, Galvin was a first-team All-Conference and All-Region selection. She set a new single-season program record with 17 free-position goals and scored at least twice in each of her first 14 appearances, which stands as the longest run to open a career in CNU history. She eventually recorded at least one point in all 16 of her games.

Marshall also earned a spot on the first-team squad, which capped off a decorated senior season. The fourth-year standout tied for the league lead with 80 points and ranked third with 58 goals. During the season, she scored at least once in all 18 games and had 11-point outbursts at Mary Washington on April 2 and against Southern Virginia on April 16.

One of the most celebrated players in CNU history, Marshall is a three-time first-team All-State member and four-time All-Conference selection. The Round Hill native set a new school-record with 247 career goals and finished second all-time with 319 points. Earlier this spring, she also became just the second Captain in program history to earn first-team All-Region honors twice in her career.

Anchoring the defensive unit, CNU's Johnson pieced together a record-breaking campaign as well. During her senior season, she set a new single-season program mark and finished second in the CAC with 40 caused turnovers. The Gainesville native forced at least one turnover in all 18 games, including four against Randolph-Macon on March 1 and York on April 19.

Impressive throughout her career, Johnson is a two-time All-State and All-Conference selection. A second-team All-Region honoree this year, she leaves as the program's all-time leader with 89 career caused turnovers. She also scooped up 152 ground balls, which ranks fourth in CNU history.

Mary Washington's Atkinson also grabbed first team accolades after scoring 42 goals with  11 assists this season for the Eagles. She grabbed 29 ground balls and added 48 draw controls.

UMW's Mott gained second team honors after scoring eight goals and 11 assists and leading the team with 33 ground balls. She posted 22 draw controls.

CNU's Callahan picked up All-State accolades as well after earning a spot on the second-team squad. An explosive offensive threat, she led the team with 24 assists and ranked third with 57 points. She also scored 33 goals during the year, including a record-breaking run to kick off her collegiate career.

At the start of the season, Callahan posted five straight hat-tricks, which marked the longest run to open a career in CNU history. The Vienna native eventually notched at least three goals in eight games during the year, highlighted by an eight-point performance against Redlands on March 5. During that game, she also contributed five assists, which set a new freshman record and stands seventh on the program's single-game list.
