May 19, 2021 | Women's Lacrosse
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - University of Louisville women's lacrosse's Caroline Blalock and Sarah Blalock have been named 2021 IWLCA Division I All Region Second Team, the IWLCA announced today.
It marks the 11th consecutive season that Louisville has had at least one player named All Region.Â
"Caroline and Sarah are both very deserving of this recognition. Caroline is a four-year captain and has been a leader since she stepped on campus. She does a little bit of everything for us. Sarah developed into one of the best lockdown defenders in the country and proved that she has the ability to shut down some of the nation's top scorers," said head coach Scott Teeter.
Â
Earlier this year, Caroline Blalock earned All-ACC Second Team honors. She was also named to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List, an ILWomen Midseason Second Team All-American and she received votes for the ILWomen Midseason Breakthrough Player of the Year.
Â
She led the Cardinals in assists (11), ground balls (32), caused turnovers (21) and draw controls (39), and ranked second in goals (30) and points (41). She ranked seventh in the ACC with 2.0 ground balls per game.
Â
Sarah Blalock started all 16 games for Louisville and finished the season with 12 ground balls and 10 caused turnovers. Defensively, some of her highlights were limiting Boston College's Charlotte North to just one goal in two games, Marquette's Megan Menzuber to one goal and Cincinnati's Monica Borzillo to zero goals and one assist.
The IWLCA honored 128 student-athletes in Division I with a selection to one of the All-Region teams for 2021. These student-athletes are now eligible to be named to a national IWLCA All-American team. The IWLCA will announce the 2021 All-American teams and Players of the Year in June.Â
