NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. – Avery Hines of the Stony Brook women's lacrosse team has been named to the IWLCA All-American Second Team as announced by the organization on Thursday afternoon.

Hines, the CAA Defensive Player of the Year, anchored the Seawolves' defense as a member of the Tewaaraton Watch List, a two-time IWLCA Defensive Player of the Week (March 24, May 6), a seven-time CAA Defensive Player of the Week (February 24, March 10, March 24, March 31, April 7, April 14, April 28), an Inside Lacrosse Midseason All-American, an IWLCA Mid-Atlantic All-Region selection, a Nike Lacrosse Media All-American and a USA Lacrosse All-American.

The All-CAA First Teamer caused a team-high 74 turnovers and picked up 54 ground balls through 21 games for the Seawolves this season. Her 74 caused turnovers are a single-season program best (behind her 66 caused turnovers last season) and she sits atop the all-time caused turnover record with 142 total over her four-year career. She ranks third in the nation in caused turnovers per game (3.50) and leads the CAA in caused turnovers.

Earlier this season, Hines collected her 100^th career caused turnover in a win over Vermont on March 6 and became just the fifth player in program history to reach this milestone. She broke the single-game (8), single-season (74), and career (142) caused turnover record during the 2025 campaign. She also recorded 100 career ground balls in the NCAA Second Round against Boston College.
