She concluded her career with 206 points on 118 goals and 88 assists with 82 ground balls and 73 caused turnovers, while being one of the nation’s best players in the ride. Her goals, assists, points, and caused turnovers place her in the top-10 in program history in each career category. She was a two-time IWLCA All-American (First Team – 2023, Second Team – 2022), and a two-time USA Lacrosse Honorable Mention All-American (2022 and 2023), while being selected to the All-SSC First Team three consecutive seasons (2021, 2022, 2023). *2020 and 2021 no SSC Tournament due to CoVID-19*
 
Daleo finished her three-year playing career with Florida Southern with 203 total points on 168 goals and 36 assists, notching 63 this season for a single-season career-high.

Her 102 draw controls made her just the third player in program history to eclipse 100 draws joining Dani Bursinger and Sam Keesey, while she also became the program’s third player to ever be named the IWLCA Defender of the Year, too joining Bursinger and Keesey. Verrone was tabbed to the NCAA National Championship All-Tournament team while also earning IWLCA First Team All-America nods and First Team All-SSC honors.
