Richmond, Va. – Richmond women's lacrosse defender Brittney Wright and midfielder Lindsey Frank were both selected to the Virginia Association of Sport Information Directors All-State First and Second Teams Thursday. Wright collected First Team honors, while Frank was named to the Second Team.
Wright, a native of Moorestown, N.J., was named IWLCA Second Team All-South Region in May, adding to her 2021 Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year and First Team accolades. Wright, as Richmond's defensive leader and top match-up defender, started in all 12 contests this season, collecting 18 ground balls and 10 caused turnovers. Her presence and lacrosse IQ led Richmond to a #11 national ranking in scoring defense. She held GW's and VCU's top scorers to only two goals and two assists over three match-ups. Wright's defense limited Davidson's nationally-ranked scoring offense (#15) to its second lowest output of the year and almost four goals lower than its season average in goals.
Wright also collected A-10 Defensive Player of the Week honors March 30 after helping the Spiders defense shutdown GW (3/26) and VCU (3/28) to collect two conference victories. She also had two ground balls and a caused turnover against GW and two caused turnovers against VCU.
Frank, a native of Gansevoort, N.Y., was named to the Atlantic 10 All-Championship Team after scoring three goals and collecting a career-high nine draw controls, with two ground balls and one caused turnover. She also collected A-10 Second Team and All-Rookie Team honors. For the season Frank led the Spiders (10-2) with 37 goals and 11 assists for 48 points. She also collected a team-high 59 draw controls, 18 ground balls, seven caused turnovers and went 10-for-15 in free position attempts in 12 games.
Against nationally ranked UVA, Frank had four points on three goals and one assist. She posted career high five goals against William & Mary (2/27) and George Mason (4/25), as well as a season-high five assists on a career-high day in points (7 points on two goals, five assists) against Old Dominion (3/14). Frank was named A-10 Player of the Week (4/26) after leading the team with eight goals and 14 draw controls in wins over Davidson and George Mason.
