Emily Heller, Emma LoPinto and Sarah Reznick each earn a spot on the Second Team
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The Gator trio of Emily Heller, Emma LoPinto and Sarah Reznick each added to their list of postseason accolades on Thursday when the IWLCA announced its 2023 All-American Teams.
All three Gators found themselves as IWLCA Second Team All-Americans.
This was the second IWLCA honor for both Reznick and LoPinto, as Reznick was a Second Team honoree in 2021 and LoPinto earned Third Team accolades a season ago.
Heller earned her first IWLCA All-America distinction, but was tabbed as an ILWomen All-American<https://floridagators.com/news/2023/5/18/lacrosse-four-gators-garner-ilwomen-all-america-honors.aspx> alongside Reznick and LoPinto a week ago.
In total, the IWLCA honored 48 student-athletes that represent 18 different institutions.
The Gators finished the 2023 season with a 17-4 record overall and a 5-1 run in conference play. For the 10th time in program history, including the ninth-straight year, the Gators were able to hoist the conference tournament championship trophy, having defeated then-No. 6 James Madison in the AAC Championship game.
