RINDGE, N.H. (May 5, 2009) - Two members of the Franklin Pierce University women's lacrosse team have earned postseason honors from the Northeast-10 as selected by the Conference's 11 head coaches.

Sophomore attack Lauren Stille (North Quincy, Mass./North Quincy) was selected to the All-Northeast-10 Conference first team, while freshman goalkeeper Jillian Bolduc (Atkinson, N.H./Timberlane) was voted to the NE-10's inaugural All-Rookie team.

Stille is just the second first team All-Conference selection in program history, joining Courtney Boardman who earned first team All-NE-10 honors in 2003. Stille ranks second among NE-10 leaders with her team-best 64 goals, leading the Conference with 4.00 goals per game (4^th nationally), a total which ranks second in program history only to her program record 73 goals scored as a freshman. She also added 13 assists for a total of 77 points to rank fifth in the

She also contributed with 16 ground balls, eight draw controls and three caused turnovers.

Stille, the 2008 NE-10 Freshman of the Year, became the third player in program history to reach the 100 career point mark and just the third to net 100 career goals over the course of the season. Her 27 career assists set a new program record, while she enters her junior season just nine points shy of Boardman's career record of 173 points and 14 goals shy of Boardman's career record of 151. Stille posted a career-best ten points with a career-high matching eight goals to go with two assists to lead the Ravens to a 19-13 win over Assumption College on March 26.

Bolduc played all 972-minutes in goal for Franklin Pierce in her freshman campaign. She ranked second in the NE-10 with 13.62 saves per game (5^th nationally) while posting a 15.37 goals against average (6^th NE-10) and .467 save percentage (2^nd). Bolduc's 249 saves are the second-highest single season total in program history, while her minutes played is also second all-time for a single-season. Opposing teams converted only 52-of-150 free-position attempts against the Ravens this season and Bolduc also collected 34 ground balls and caused eight turnovers.

Bolduc, named the NE-10 Freshman of the Week for the week ending April 26, will enter her sophomore season ranked fifth on the program's career list for goalkeeper games played, minutes played and fourth in career saves.

The Ravens, who earned a spot in the NE-10 Tournament for the first time since 2003, also matched the program's single-season mark for conference wins and also set new single-season standards for goals (197), assists (86) and points (283).
