Meagher protected the Florida cage this season, recording 125 saves and compiled a .502 save percentage, which ranks fifth in the nation this season. The senior goalkeeper also recorded a 6.90 goals against average, the second-best mark in the country.
Seniors Kitty Cullen (Rockville, Md.) and Brittany Dashiell (Bel Air, Md.) were honored as All-Americans. 25 players from 14 schools earned the postseason recognition. The trio of All-Americans led the Gators to an 18-3 overall record and their third-consecutive ALC regular season championship.

Cullen recorded a team-high 69 points on 50 goals and 19 assists. Dashiell recorded 51 points on 31 goals and 22 assists while grabbing 58 draw controls. This is both their third All-American honors of the season as they were each awarded SynapseSports.com and IWLCA honors.
