ROCK HILL, S.C. --- Tusculum University midfielder Juliette Cusano has been named the South Atlantic Conference women's lacrosse statistical champion in draw controls per game, the SAC announced Wednesday.

Cusano led the conference with an average of 7.57 draw controls per game, which currently ranks seventh in Division II this season. She had at least four draw controls in each of the Pioneers' seven games, including 12 at Coker on April 3 which is tied for the third-most in a single game in the conference this season and one shy of her own school record of 13 set in 2019 against Lees-McRae.

Cusano, a native of Davie, Florida, had at least one draw control in 56 of her 59 career games at Tusculum, including the final 46 games of her career dating back to her freshman season in 2017. She finished her Pioneer career with a school-record 246 draw controls, which currently ranks her 11th among active Division II players and leads all active SAC players.

In addition to draw controls, Cusano is Tusculum's career leader in goals (163), free-position goals (59), shot attempts (330) and shots on goal (268). She ranks second in program history with 185 career points and in caused turnovers with 63, and ranks third with 110 ground balls.

The Pioneers finished 1-6 overall and 0-6 in the SAC during the 2021 season.
