Northeast-10 Conference women's lacrosse awards

MANSFIELD, Mass. (May 4, 2021) -- At the end of a 57-point junior campaign, Savannah Ernst (American Fork, Utah) has been selected as the Northeast-10 Conference Northeast Division Attacker of the Year, as the league announced its end-of-season awards on Tuesday afternoon. In addition, Ernst was named to the All-NE10 First Team, while graduate student Sarah Waldrep (North Andover, Mass.) landed on the All-NE10 Second Team.

Ernst’s selection as divisional Attacker of the Year marked just the second major NE10 award in program history. Ernst joined Lauren Stille ’11, who was named NE10 Rookie of the Year in 2008.

Ernst started in all 10 games the Ravens played this spring and currently ranks second in the NE10 in both goals (49) and points (57), to go with eight assists. Her 91 shot attempts also rank second in the Conference, as do her 70 shots on goal. Ernst went 13-for-23 on free-position shots and added 13 ground balls, 30 draw controls and a pair of caused turnovers along the way. The 30 draw controls puts her in the top 20 in the NE10.

Meanwhile, Waldrep also started all 10 games for Franklin Pierce and is in the top 30 in the NE10 in caused turnovers (12). The number was also a team-leading figure, and she caused those 12 turnovers while committing only four of her own. Waldrep also finished the season tied for second on the team in ground balls (20) and was fourth in draw controls (24).

The Ravens finished their season at 7-3, and picked up the first postseason win in program history last week, when they defeated Saint Michael’s in the first round of the NE10 Championship.
