LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Following the 2024 lacrosse season, a pair of Bloomsburg Huskies earned All-Conference honors. Kayla Stressman (Harleysville, Pa./North Penn) captured Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) East Freshman of the Year honors while Madison Coyle (Williamstown, N.J./Williamstown) earned a spot on the All-PSAC East first team. The awards and All-Conference teams are voted on by the league's head coaches and announced by the conference office.
 
In her first season with the Huskies, Stressman was a force to be reckoned with in the midfield and on attack. The Harleysville, Pa. native finished fourth on the team with 22 points, including 20 goals, which was third-best on the team. Stressman won 61 draw controls, third most on the team.

Stressman had three goals in the Huskies' 10-6 win over then-ranked #17 Mercy at home on March 16.
 
Coyle capped her career with her first PSAC East honor as a first-team midfielder following a banner year for the senior. Coyle led the Huskies with a career-best 54 points, including 47 goals and seven assists. Two of Coyle's goals were game-winners and four came while the Huskies were playing a woman up and one while they were down a player. She was second on the team with 62 draw controls and led Bloomsburg with 48 ground balls and 38 caused turnovers. The Williamstown, N.J. native was fourth in the PSAC with 2.94 ground balls per game and fifth with 2.24 caused turnovers per game. Coyle finished the year eighth in the conference with 2.76 goals per game for the season.
 
The Huskies finished the regular season ranked number one in NCAA DII in caused turnovers per game (15.29) and ground balls per game (25.24) and are receiving votes in the final IWLCA poll of the regular season.

Bloomsburg went 10-7 under 10^th-year head coach Shannon Hertz and went 5-7 in PSAC East action.
