MAAC Sports
Poughkeepsie, N.Y. - Marist College's Kelly Condon was selected as the Women's Lacrosse Offensive Player of the Year, while Canisius College's Allison Daley earned Defensive Player of the Year honors to headline the 2010 Women's Lacrosse All-MAAC Teams, as voted by the league's head coaches.
Fairfield University's Chloe Mangan was named the Rookie of the Year, while Siena College's Andrea Duffy earned Anaconda Sports Coach of the Year honors.
Condon, a 5-5 sophomore attacker from Roslyn, Pa., was at her best during MAAC play, leading the league in points per game (6.17), goals per game (3.50), and assists per game (2.67) during six conference contests. Condon also had two game-winning goals as she helped lead the Red Foxes to a 4-2 league record and a berth in the MAAC Championship. Overall, Condon averaged 4.07 points, 2.53 goals, and 1.53 assists per game. She was named the MAAC Offensive Player of the Week twice in 2010.
Daley, a 5-4 junior goalie from Peterborough, Ontario, was first in the conference with 10.20 saves per game and a .490 save percentage. She was second in goals against average (12.05) as she helped Canisius to a 5-1 record in the MAAC and an overall mark of 10-7. Daley was selected as the MAAC Defensive Player of the Week on April 19.
Mangan, a 5-10 freshman midfielder from Sayville, N.Y., was second on the Stags in points (35), an average of 2.19 per game, and assists (9). Mangan earned MAAC Rookie of the Week honors five times this season.
Duffy has engineered a significant turnaround in her second season at the helm of the Saints. Siena finished in last place with an 0-6 record in 2009. The Saints, who were picked by the league's head coaches to place sixth this season, posted a 3-3 conference record to finish fourth in the conference and qualify for the program's second MAAC Championship.
