Notre Dame Women’s Lacrosse: Three Irish Earn All-ACC Honors

The Atlantic Coast Conference bestowed all-conference honors on three outstanding Notre Dame women’s lacrosse players Wednesday, highlighting outstanding effort amid an erratic 9-8 regular season.

Junior goaltender Samantha Giacolone earned first-team honors; junior Hannah Proctor earned second-team distinction for her play on defense and sophomore midfielder Savannah Buchanan earned second-team accolades as well.

Giacolone, who has started all 17 games for the Irish, ranks first in the conference in save percentage (.473) and third in saves (130). The Manorville, N.Y. native shares first-team honors with Virginia Tech’s Meagh Graham, one of four Hokies honored by the conference.
