SUWANEE, Ga. – The Millsaps women's lacrosse team has three players named to the Second Team All-SCAC after their inaugural season.

The Majors got two defenders on the list in senior Leah Bright and sophomore Victoria Wheeler. Both received the honor from the league's coaches after playing their first season of lacrosse, ever.

Bright had 28 ground balls and 15 draw controls on the season. She also managed a goal in defense. Wheeler added 18 grounders in her 14 starts on a Major defense that spent much of its season fighting off aggressive, more experienced, offenses. Victoria finished with the second-highest caused turnover total on the team with seven; Leah came in right behind her with six.

Freshman midfielder Haleigh Williams led the Majors' offense this season with 31 goals after playing and starting in all 14 games. The Houston native posted a .596 shooting percentage, had 43 shots on-goal (.827 percentage) and had the game-winning goal in overtime against Agnes Scott.

For her efforts against ASC Haleigh was named Millsaps' first SCAC Player of the Week back in week one of the season. She led the team with 16 caused turnovers and ranked fifth in the conference with a team-leading 37 ground balls.

To land three players on the all-conference team in the first year of a program's existence is a rare feat. Coach Cepnio had this to say, “I am very proud of our accomplishments this year and to have three players recognized in the conference this season is truly an honor. I cannot wait to see the many accomplishments we will have in future seasons.”
