KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The NAIA announced the 2023 NAIA Women’s Lacrosse All-Americans and Coach and Player of the Year.
Coach Melody Shotwell of SCAD Savannah (Ga.) is the 2023 NAIA Women’s Lacrosse Coach of the Year in her first season as head coach at SCAD. Shotwell led her team to the finals for the first time since women’s lacrosse became a championship and ended the season with a 12-6 season record. Only three of those losses came from NAIA opponents, which were rated top three in the nation. The Bees incurred five of the six losses at the beginning of the season and went on an 11-game win streak before they landed in the NAIA championship game and picked up The Sun Conference title along the way.
Bella Ricchiazzi of Cumberlands (Ky.) is the NAIA Women’s Lacrosse Player of the Year for the second consecutive year. Ricchiazzi leads the nation in five different categories on the season: points (144), goals (95), assists (49), shots (141) and shots on goal (122). Ricchiazzi helped to lead her team to the national championship quarterfinal for the third consecutive year.
The All-America Committee makes the All-America selections. The list is made up of 15 members for each of the first and second teams.
