Lacrosse Magazine Release

Baltimore, Md. - Stony Brook women's lacrosse junior Courtney Murphy (Shirley, N.Y.) continued to collect end-of-season accolades Wednesday, as she was named Attacker of the Year and a first-team All-American by Lacrosse Magazine.

Murphy broke the Division I single-season scoring record in 2016 with 100 goals in a 17-4 season for the Seawolves, who finished the year ranked No. 8 or better in all three major polls. The Seawolves junior was named a first-team All-American selection by the IWLCA, ECAC Offensive Player of the Year and America East Offensive Player of the Year before adding to her honors Wednesday.

The junior attacker surpassed the Division I single-season scoring mark of 98 that had stood since 1984 along with Stony Brook's career goals record of 158. Murphy finished the 2016 campaign with 232 career goals, 57 shy of the Division I all-time mark.

Murphy will return for her senior season in 2017 as part of a Stony Brook squad that returns 96.8% of its goal-scoring from the 2016 season.
