Valles and Haslett Named IWLCA Chesapeake Regional All-Americans
Gina Valles (South Windsor, CT, Westminster) and Alida Haslett (Bryn Mawr, PA, Radnor) were named IWLCA Chesapeake Regional All-Americans announced this afternoon. Valles earned first-team recognition while Haslett garnered second-team honors. They joined eight other ODAC women's lacrosse players on the regional ballot.
Valles, a junior midfielder, became a first-team regional All-American for the second-straight year. She broke her own single-season scoring record with 109 points and just four assists shy of tying the single-season assists record. The two-sport star as an all-conference player on the women's soccer team, is re-writing the career record books at Roanoke. Entering next season, Valles needs only 17 points to break the all-time scoring record, second all-time in goals (204) and shots (411), third in assists (78), free-position goals (40) and caused turnovers (80). She holds the school-record in shots on goal (308) and draw controls (139).
The three-time First-Team All-ODAC selection also took home her third-straight major ODAC honor that includes the 2008 rookie of the year and back-to-back player of the year awards. She led the ODAC in all three scoring categories with 109 total points from 67 goals and 42 assists.
She is ranked fifth in the nation in points per game (6.81), 11th in assists per game (2.63) and 17th in goals scored. In 16 games, Valles recorded no fewer than three points each time out. She registered double digit points three times in victories over Randolph-Macon (11), Hollins (13) and Bridgewater (10). The single-season record-holder in points, Valles registered highs of seven goals scored on two separate occasions, once against R-MC and the other in a win over St. John Fisher.
Haslett, a senior defender, earned her first regional All-American in her career. The 2010 graduate of Roanoke earned her second first-team all-conference selection of the 2009-10 school year, with her All-ODAC accolade as a defender on the women's soccer team. It was her third-straight year as a First-Team All-ODAC selection, also earning two All-ODAC Tournament team honors in her career.
She leaves the program as the all-time leader in caused turnovers (90) and has four All-ODAC plaques playing for the women's lacrosse program, which included a second-team honor as a freshman. A team captain over the past two seasons, Haslett started in all 16 games, totaling 21 groundballs, 21 draw controls and 20 caused turnovers as she anchored the defensive unit.
She scored her only goal of the season with three shots, two on goal against Hollins. Against then #17 St. John Fischer, Haslett collected two groundballs, caused three turnovers and won three draw controls. Against Ursinus, she totaled three groundballs, two draw controls and two caused turnovers.
Roanoke finished 9-7, 7-1 in ODAC play to finish second in the conference standings. The Maroons fell to Lynchburg, 12-11 in the conference semifinals.
