Women's Lacrosse Places Three On All-Chesapeake Region Teams
GRAND LAKE, CO – Three Roanoke College women's lacrosse players were named to the 2014 Chesapeake All-Region team, announced Monday afternoon. Darragh Evarts and Claire Feeney were tabbed with First Team honors, while Allison Bonanno earned Second Team accolades.

Darragh Evarts – Junior – Midfield
Evarts, the Goldens Bridge, NY native, was named All-Chesapeake Region for the second consecutive year, being named First Team in 2013 and 2014. She picked up her third straight First Team All-ODAC award with the honors in 2014. Evarts led the Maroons in scoring with 71 goals, matching her goal total from the 2013 season. She finished the year with 103 points, adding 32 assists to the mix. Her points and goals ranks fifth in single season marks at Roanoke College as well. She tallied with 126 draw controls, which is the single-season record for the Roanoke women's lacrosse program. Evarts also moved into first all-time in draw controls with 291, passing Gina Valles '11 early in the season, who previously held the record with 199. Darragh still has one year left to play to add on to that incredible statistic. She also ranks fourth all-time in goals scored with 195, just eight away from passing Leigh Budnitz '91.

Claire Feeney – Sophomore – Attack
Feeney, of Old Greenwich, CT, adds a debut All-Chesapeake Region award along with her first All-ODAC nod in her initial season with the Maroons. Feeney was second in scoring for the Maroons in 2014, notching 62 goals. She also added 20 assists to the mix. Feeney's 62 goals on the year ranked fourth in the ODAC, and her 82 overall points sat as the number-five mark in the conference. She also ranked 8th in the conference in shots on goal (83), and ninth in free position goals (10). She finished the season with 31 ground balls and 48 draw controls (11thin ODAC).

Allison Bonanno – Senior – Attack
For the third consecutive year, Bonanno, a native of Ridgewood, NJ, was named to the IWLCA All-Chesapeake Region Team. Earlier this year, she earned her third All-ODAC nod, being named to the First Team in both 2012 and 2013, as well as Second Team in 2014. With 95 points in her senior season, Bonanno moved into second all-time at Roanoke in points with 358, passing Ali Oglesby '98 who had 298 during her years as a Maroon. At the end of Bonanno's junior season, she had already set the all-time record for assists at Roanoke with 147, and with 40 more in 2014, extending that mark to 187. Her 187 assists is now an ODAC record for career assists, passing Meagan Dicave of Virginia Wesleyan, who played from 1999-02. Also, the 40 assists from Bonanno ranked second in the ODAC. Bonanno finished the year with 55 goals off of 88 shots on goal. She had 35 ground balls, 37 draw controls and eight forced turnovers.

The IWLCA has honored 256 student-athletes in Division III with a selection on one of the All-Regional teams for 2014. These student-athletes are now eligible for inclusion on the IWLCA All-American teams, which will be announced on Monday May 19.
