The Tusculum College Women's lacrosse team was honored Monday as two members of the squad were named All-South Atlantic Conference, as voted upon by the league's nine head coaches.

Sophomore midfielder Madison Malone was a first-team selection, while senior attack Kelsey Crow was named second-team All-SAC after helping the Pioneers to a fourth-place finish in the league and a second straight appearance in the SAC Tournament.

Malone ranks seventh in the SAC in points with 61, including a league-high 42 assists that are two shy of the conference record of 44 set last season. Malone also scored 19 goals while leading the Pioneers in draw controls (60) and caused turnovers (29), and ranking second with 39 ground balls.

The Maple Grove, Minnesota native registered at least one point in all 14 games in which she played, including a school-record eight assists against Lincoln Memorial in a 22-10 victory on March 30. Malone, who was named honorable mention All-SAC last season, had 10 games with at least two assists, and finished the season with four consecutive multi-goal games.

Malone is the program's career leader in assists with 70 and ranks second with 110 career points. She also ranks fifth with 40 goals, and holds program career records for ground balls (94) and caused turnovers (54). Malone also ranks second in program history with 87 career draw controls.

Crow, who was a first-team All-SAC pick last season, ranked second on the team with 41 goals (sixth-best in the SAC) and third with 47 points. She had a team-high 43 ground balls and ranked second on the team with 23 caused turnovers, while her 21 draw controls were fourth-best on the team.

The Franklin, Tennessee native became the first player in program history to reach 100 career points against Lincoln Memorial on March 30, and scored at least one goal in 14 of the team's 15 games. Crow had nine straight multi-goal games to start the season, and finished the year with 13 games of two goals or more.

For her career, Crow is the program's leader in goals (95) and points (113) and ranks fourth with 18 assists. Crow ranks third in career caused turnovers (36) and ground balls (66) and is fourth in program history with 41 draw controls.

Tusculum claimed several conference statistical championships, as Malone led the league in assists per game at 3.00. As a team, the Pioneers led the conference in points per game (24.20), scoring offense (16.27 goals per game) and draw controls per game (14.93).

Caitlyn Nemeth of Brevard was voted conference Player of the Year, with Freshman of the Year honors going to Hannah Scott of Queens. The Coach of the Year award was presented to Julika Blankenship of Queens, as she led the team to its third consecutive SAC championship and undefeated finish in the league.

The Pioneers (10-5, 4-4 SAC) will host Brevard in a SAC quarterfinal game on Tuesday at 5 p.m. at Pioneer Field. The winner will advance to the conference semifinals, which will be played Friday in Charlotte, North Carolina.
