FOREST, Va. --- Washington and Lee University, winner of 13 consecutive ODAC championships, collected a league-high nine all-conference honors in addition to three special individual laurels to headline the 2023 All-ODAC Women's Lacrosse Awards.

Generals defender Eugenie Rovegno repeats as the ODAC Defensive Player of the Year, while teammate and attacker Allie Schwab earned ODAC Offensive Player of the Year accolades. First-year W&L mentor Maddie Coleman received ODAC Coach of the Year recognition from her peers. Attacker Lilly Fowler is the second straight ODAC Rookie of the Year for Randolph-Macon College. Roanoke College attacker Lilly Blair garnered her second straight ODAC/Virginia Farm Bureau Insurance Scholar-Athlete of the Year award from the conference's athletic communications personnel.

The women's lacrosse awards look a little different this year with two all-league teams instead of three. Each team, however, is larger than in past, allowing for greater representation for the league's best players while maintaining the same overall number of honorees.

This season's group of 39 stars includes 24 players that earned All-ODAC honors in 2022. That includes nearly all but four members of the 19-player All-ODAC First Team. Blair and Schwab are now three-time first team honorees along with Shenandoah attacker Emma Stiffler and midfielder Madison Re.

Rovegno and attacker teammate Hanna Bishop -- the 2021 Rookie of the Year -- appear on the first team for a second straight year. The same can be said of Randolph-Macon defender Italia Carnazza.

Five players moved up to the 2023 first team from the 2022 All-ODAC Second Team. That list includes Roanoke attacker Libby Bowman and defender Natalie Mason, W&L midfielder Jenny Lisovicz and defender Sam Van Belle, and SU defender Julianna Fohner. Making the jump from the 2022 All-ODAC Third Team are R-MC midfielder and last year's Rookie of the Year, Rianna Lowery, University of Lynchburg midfielder Alla Daniel, and W&L goalkeeper Caroline Kranich.

Rovegno, a junior from Duxbury, Mass., is the first repeat winner of the ODAC Defensive Player of the Year since the coaches starting recognizing the honor in 2018.

Seven times she notched four or more points, including a season-high six points on two goals and four assists in a win over Virginia Wesleyan University.

Fowler, a first-year from Phoenix, Md., has been a potent part of Randolph-Macon's offense since notching six points on five goals and one assist in her first collegiate game in a 17-7 win over Hood. While that proved to be her season-high mark, Fowler registered eight games of three or more points, posting at least one point in 17-of-20 games played. She scored at least one goal in 16 contests. Fowler also proved adept in the clutch as she scored the game-winner in with 2:06 to play in the Yellow Jackets 16-15 win at Lynchburg in the ODAC quarterfinals.
