NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Vanderbilt lacrosse team had four of its members named to American Lacrosse Conference (ALC) All-Conference teams. Michelle Allen, Lauren Peck and Tara Schmucker earned First-Team honors, while Jess Roguski was selected for the Second Team.

Junior midfielder Michelle Allen was named to the ALC First Team after leading Vanderbilt this past season with 52 points, 23 assists and 54 ground balls. She also was among the team leaders with 29 goals, 15 caused turnovers, 21 draw controls and 73 shots on goal.

Allen, who started all 15 games, was a model of consistency as she scored at least one goal in every contest and scored three or more goals in seven matches. Allen's 1.53 assists per game led the conference and was 17th in the nation. In the ALC, she also ranked second with 3.47 points per game, third with 3.60 ground balls per match and seventh with 1.93 goals per contest.
