BEST WOMEN’S PLAYERR
SAM APUZZO
The dynamic attacker finished second in Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse for the second straight season, but her ability to draft and impact the offensive end of the field make her an absolute force. Apuzzo has her sights set on taking home an AU championship in 2024.
TAYLOR MORENO
The first two-time champion in Athletes Unlimited Lacrosse history, Taylor Moreno is as steady as they come between the pipes — both in terms of on-field performance and mentality. Moreno also backstopped the U.S. to a gold medal at Super Sixes in 2023.
IZZY SCANE
Tewaaraton Award winner. National champion. Northwestern record holder. Need we go on? Izzy Scane had a 2023 to remember and will be back for more this spring.
MEAGHAN TYRRELL
Meaghan Tyrrrell passed her head coach, Kayla Treanor, for the most points in Syracuse history in 2023. She was a Tewaaraton Award finalist and drafted by Athletes Unlimited before ultimately missing the summer season.
Kenny DeJohn
