KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. -- University of Delaware women’s lacrosse players Jessica Cerveny (top right) and Erin Zimmerman (bottom right), two key members of a Blue Hen squad that advanced to the school’s first Colonial Athletic Association final this past May, have been selected to the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association All-Mid-Atlantic Region second team, the IWLCA announced on May 28.

Cerveny and Zimmerman joined 126 other players from around the nation on the IWLCA’s all-region teams. First and second teams were chosen in each of four regions - the West/Midwest, South, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. All 128 athletes were made eligible for inclusion on the IWLCA/US Lacrosse All-American teams which were announced on the same day.

The CAA had three representatives on the All-American teams. The two-year reigning CAA champion Towson Tigers had two - CAA defensive player of the year, Julie Ondrako (second team) and Meggie McNamara (third team). Hofstra’s Corrine Gandolfi earned third team honors. Eleven CAA players earned All-Region Team honors in their respective region.

Cerveny, a first team All-CAA selection, started all 18 games and played every minute of all but one game when she was relieved for just 14:34. She played 1075:26 minutes in goal for the Hens this season, which ranks third all-time in school history. She allowed 150 goals and made 157 saves.

A native of Islip, N.Y. (Islip HS), Cerveny ranked in the top-five in the conference in three categories. She was No. 1 in goals against average at 8.54 per game, No. 2 in save percentage (.494) and fifth in groundballs per game with 2.75.

Zimmerman, a Malvern, Pa. native and converted true defender turned midfielder for her senior season, did a little bit of everything for the Hens this season. Also a first team All-CAA selection, she was particularly impressive on defense, causing a team-high 22 turnovers. Offensively, she scored seven points on four goals and three assists. A sharp-shooter, she took just five shots to score those four goals for an .800 shooting percentage. She also ranked second on the team with 42 groundballs and won 11 draw controls on the season.

At least one Blue Hen has been named to the All-Mid-Atlantic team each year dating back to 2005.
