NORTHBOROUGH, Mass.— A program-record four Colorado Mesa University Maverick women's lacrosse players were named to the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association's Division II All-Midwest Region teams that were announced by the organization this week.
 
Senior midfielder Ali Bryant and junior attack Justine Anderson were both recognized for the second time in their careers and were joined by first team all-region picks Courtney Havel, a senior attack, and Heather Hawkins, a freshman goalie.
 
All four were second team selections and were amongst the 128 student-athletes in four regions that were recognized, all of which are eligible to be named to the IWLCA All-America teams, which will be announced on May 21.
 
The Mavs have never previously had more than three all-region picks in the same season (2023).
 
All four of the Mavs were also selected to the First Team All-Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference team late in April and helped lead CMU to a share of the RMAC crown and a fifth straight RMAC Tournament Championship game appearance.  The Mavs also hosted the RMAC Tournament for the first time in program history after edging Regis for the No. 1 seed on tie-breaking procedures.
 
Second-year head coach Ashley Delaney was named as the RMAC Coach of the Year.
 
Anderson, a native of Colorado Springs, led the Mavericks with 66 offensive points and with 27 assists, figures that put her third in the RMAC statistics.  She also scored 39 goals this season and became just the fifth Maverick in program history to surpass the 100 career goal milestone, doing so on Apr. 17 against Fort Lewis.  Anderson scored at least one goal in all 17 of the Mavs' games and netted a season high five goals and nine offensive points with four assists in an Apr. 5 win at Westminster.
 
She was also a second team all-region pick last year.
 
Havel, who hails from Lake Oswego, Oregon, was named as the RMAC Attacker of the Year, and led the Mavs with 46 goals, the fourth highest total in the RMAC.   She also scored at least one goal in every game this season and scored six goals while adding two assists in a key Mar. 14 win at Regis, the Mavs' first ever road win over the Rangers.  That and a 5-goal effort just two days later at UCCS allowed Havel to earn IWLCA NCAA Division II Co-Offensive Player of the Week accolades.
 
Bryant, a native of Huntington Beach, California, was also named to the all-region squad as a sophomore in 2023 and wrapped up her career with a second career RMAC Midfielder of the Year honor and third all-conference accolade this season.  A standout multi-dimensional player, Bryant led the Mavs' with 79 draw controls and recorded 29 groundballs and 19 caused turnovers, defensively.  Offensively, she had 18 goals and 17 assists as the Mavericks led the RMAC in scoring offense as a team.
 
Hawkins, who hails from Palmer Lake, Colorado, was named as both the RMAC Goalie and RMAC Freshman of the Year.   She emerged as the Maverick starter in the fourth game of the season and finished the campaign with 122 saves, a .494 save percentage and a 9.08 goals against average.  Her save percentage is the eighth best in Division II and her goals against average ranks 12^th in the country.
 
She was named as the IWLCA NCAA Division II Defensive Player of the Week on Apr. 1 and was a 2-time RMAC Defensive Player of the Week.
 
Hawkins is CMU's first ever First Team All-RMAC goalkeeper and RMAC Goalie of the Year.
