⚔️ ONE BIG THING

USC lacrosse’s Ella Heaney and Isabelle Vitale received USA Lacrosse Magazine All-American honorable mention status.

Both players earned All-Pac-12 First Team honors, and Heaney was also named the Pac-12 Attacker of the Year. Heaney became the first Trojan to claim the award since it started being handed out in 2018 after tallying the most points for the Trojans with 73 points on 43 goals and 30 assists. Vitale, on the other hand, is a three-time All-Pac-12 honoree, having received first-team recognition twice and second-team honors once.
