FRESNO, Calif. – The Fresno State women's lacrosse team received eight Mountain Pacific Sports Federation postseason awards, the most in program history. The Bulldogs chalked their first-ever MPSF Rookie of the Year in Mackenzie Wallevand and tallied six All-MPSF Team honorees, the conference announced on Wednesday.
Wallevand, Sarah Bloise, Tiffiny Wallace, Marina Mayo, Olivia Mannon and Hannah Krats represented the Bulldogs on the 2018 All-MPSF Team.
"I am extremely pleased with our representation in the MPSF postseason awards," said head coach Jessica Giglio. "A lot of our student-athletes were not only statistical leaders in our conference but across the NCAA."
Wallevand was named the 2018 MPSF Rookie of the Year after an impressive freshman season with the Bulldogs. She is Fresno State's first MPSF Rookie of the Year in program history. The Santa Margarita, Calif. native finished her debut season with 19 goals, 10 assists 29 points, 50 draw controls 15 ground balls and eight caused turnovers. She scored in 12 games, and recorded multiple goals in six games. The newcomer had four games with five or more draw controls, including a career-high seven draw controls. Wallevand's 50 draw controls is the third-most in single-season in the Fresno State program record book. She also moves into seventh on the Draw Control All-Time Career Leaders list after just one season with the Bulldogs.Â
Wallevand recorded more goals, assists, draw controls, points and game-winning goals than any other MPSF freshman this season. Among other division I freshman, she ranked No. 26 in draw controls per game.
"I am proud of how Mackenzie battled all season." Said Giglio. "She played an important role at the midfield. She came up with a lot of draw controls and made big plays that helped contribute to our wins. I'm looking forward to her continues success at Fresno State in her seasons to come."
