SAN DIEGO – The San Diego State lacrosse team placed six student-athletes on the all-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation lacrosse team, the conference office announced Thursday.
Redshirt senior Katy Sharretts earned the honor for the third time, the only all-MPSF selection this year to achieve that feat. Also earning all-conference honors were seniors Bailey Brown, Gabbie Garrison, Shelby Hook, Lexi Tan, and graduate student Emily Resnick.
This season's all-conference team included six attackers, six midfielders, five defenders, and one goalkeeper. SDSU's six honorees were the second-most by a conference program, as UC Davis led the league with seven selections and Fresno State earned five nods.
