Six Ivy Leaguers, including four from Ivy-champ Princeton, have been named IWLCA/USLacrosse Division I first-team All-Americans. The four Tigers are the most honorees from any school in the nation.

Leading the way for Princeton is 2004 Ivy Player of the Year Theresa Sherry (Baltimore, Md.) who has earned first-team All-America honors for the third straight year. Sherry finished second on the team with 48 goals, her third-straight 40-goal season, and tied for the team lead with 44 draw controls. She finished her career third on Princeton's goal-scoring list with 161 and fourth all-time at Princeton with 197 points.

Junior Lindsey Biles (Annapolis, Md.), Princeton's leading scorer in 2004 with 55 goals and 71 points, is one of six attack players on the first team. Biles came within one goal of tying Cristi Samaras's Princeton single-season goal mark of 56 and also finished second on the team with 44 groundballs.

Tiger senior Katie Norbury (Berwyn, Pa.), a defender, earns first-team honors in 2004 after notching second-team All-America honors as a junior in 2003. A first-team All-Ivy League selection, Norbury finished second on the team in 2004 with 27 caused turnovers while playing nearly every minute of every game.

Princeton junior Elizabeth Pillion (Villanova, Pa.) also moves up from the second team in 2003 to the first team in 2004 after a spectacular season in the midfield. In addition to finishing third on the Tigers with 34 goals and 51 points, Pillion was Princeton's leader in both groundballs (48) and draw controls (44).

Yale senior midfielder Miles Whitman (Baltimore, Md.), who finished fifth in the nation in points per game this season, is also a first-team selection. Whitman scored 55 goals and dished out 26 assists for 81 points in 2004. Whitman led the Bulldogs with 44 draw controls and earned first team All-Ivy status.

Dartmouth senior attackman Lana Smith (Annapolis, Md.) rounds out the first-team selections. Smith, a two-time, unanimous first team All-Ivy selection, led Dartmouth in scoring with 35 goals and 20 assists for 55 points. She was also among the League leaders in goals and assists.

Receiving third-team All-America honors are: Yale senior defender Jennifer Kessel (Northport, N.Y.), Yale senior attackman Sophie Melniker (Beverly Hills, Calif.), Princeton sophomore defender Lauren Vance (Lexington, Ky.), and Dartmouth sophomore goalkeeper Devon Willis (Denver, Colo.).
