2018— Marie McCool: Women's Lacrosse (Moorestown, N.J.)
McCool, a member of UNC’s 2016 national champions, was the 2018 National Midfielder of the Year and the first player to win ACC Midfielder of the Year honors twice. The Moorestown, N.J., native was a three-time All-America and All-ACC selection; she became just the third Tar Heel women’s lacrosse player to earn first-team All-America honors three times and the first to be a national player of the year finalist twice.

She finished her career second in UNC history in draw controls (295), third in points (246), fourth in goals (183) and eighth in assists (63). She led UNC to a 72-13 record, 25-3 ACC record, three ACC Tournament championships, three final fours, two title-game appearances and an NCAA title.

McCool was the 2017 ACC Scholar-Athlete of the Year for women’s lacrosse and was the youngest player on the U.S. National Team that won gold in the 2017 World Cup.
