HAVERFORD, Pa. –  Haverford College women's lacrosse midfielder Sarina Manetta and attacker Allie Gibbons have been named to the All-Metro Region second team, the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA), announced in a release on Friday afternoon.

Manetta picks up the honor for a second straight season after a stellar senior campaign.  Manetta had a breakout 2017, tallying career-best 40 goals and 48 points while winning 64 draw controls. Her 40 goals included three game-winners. The Commack, N.Y. product set new career single-game highs in points, goals, draw controls and free-position goals during the 2017 season.

In 2017, Manetta set a new single-season program high in draw controls (64) and draw controls per game (4.00). Manetta leaves Haverford in the top five in program history in draw controls (3rd), games played (4th) and shots on goal (4th).

Gibbons had a solid sophomore campaign for the Fords, helping key the offensive production for Haverford in 2017. Gibbons finished third in the Centennial with 53 goals and sixth in the conference with a 69.7 shooting percentage.

The attacker from Baltimore, Md., scored a career-best six goals against McDaniel on March 25. Her 53 goals this season was good for the 11th-most in a single season in Haverford program history. Entering her junior season, Gibbons has 71 career tallies.

The IWLCA has honored 256 student athletes in Division III with a selection to one of the All-Region teams in 2017. These student-athletes are now immediately eligible for inclusion on the IWLCA All-American teams, which will be announced on Friday, May 19.
