Cantwell and Penn Named to IWLCA Division I All-Regional Teams

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Rutgers women’s lacrosse players Brooke Cantwell (Moorestown, N.J.) and Emily Penn (Medford, N.J.) were each named to the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Division I All-Regional Teams.

Cantwell garnered first team honors, while Penn was recognized on the second team. Each squad is comprised of 16 standouts from the Mid-Atlantic Region.

Cantwell, who was named All-BIG EAST second team, led the Scarlet Knights with 32 goals in 2009. The junior, who tallied three or more goals in four games this season, has led RU in scoring in each of the last two seasons.

Penn played in all 16 games for the Scarlet Knights this past season. She led the team with 33 groundballs and was second on the squad with 17 caused turnovers.

The IWLCA and US Lacrosse will honor the National All-Americans at the IWLCA/US Lacrosse All-American banquet on June 13, 2009 at the Crowne Plaza Valley Forge in King of Prussia, Pa.

In choosing the student-athletes for this recognition, the IWLCA has strict nominating guidelines that must be adhered to by all member institutions. The 2009 All-Regional and All-American honorees have met both the nominating and selection criteria.
