Davies, who played defense in 2024, logged two games of two or more ground balls and three games of two or more draw controls. The Wayne, N.J. native gathered honors of IWLCA South Region Second Team, All-AAC Second Team, and AAC Defensive Player of the Week (one-time).
Finnelle ranked third in the nation last season with a .529 save percentage, in route to a 9-3 record. The redshirt-junior saved 156 shots, corralled a team high 35 ground balls and caused seven turnovers.

Finnelle was flooded with 2024 accolades, hauling in AAC Goalkeeper of the Year, Inside Lacrosse All-American Third Team, IWLCA South Region First Team, and USA Lacrosse All-American Honorable Mention. The goalkeeper was ranked the No. 38 player heading into the 2025 season by Inside Lacrosse.
