Oilers Picked to Finish 3rd in the GLIAC
The University of Findlay women's lacrosse team was picked to finish third in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) this season as the league office unveiled their preseason poll on Jan. 30.
The Oilers received 38 points in the poll. Grand Valley State was picked as the favorite with Tiffin coming in second.
The Oilers finished last season with an 8-11 record, going 5-3 in conference play. They were led by Sarah Lankton, who was tabbed the GLIAC Midfielder of the Year.
Lankton, a junior, earned first team all-conference honors and finished second in the league with 69 goals. She was also among the league leaders in draw controls (108), ground balls (78) and caused turnovers (41).
Sophomore Kyra Bradley also returns to the team after earning first team all-conference accolades in 2014. She scored 59 goals on the year and also racked up 14 assists.
In addition, senior Jenah Eastep returns after being tabbed second team all-league one year ago when she had 40 ground balls and 15 caused turnovers.
