5.23.22 | Women's Lacrosse
BALTIMORE, Md. - Temple lacrosse midfielder Belle Mastropietro has been named Inside Lacrosse Media All-American Honorable Mention, as announced Monday morning. This marks the second straight season an Owl has been named All-America after Courtney Taylor last year.
Mastropietro has been awarded numerous honors following an outstanding 2022 campaign. The junior became the first Owl ever to win a major American Athletic Conference award after earning Midfielder of the Year, was a consensus First-Team All-Conference selection, and was named to the AAC All-Tournament team. Mastropietro was recently named Second-Team All-Mid-Atlantic Region by the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA).Â
Mastropietro was outstanding in all phases of the game. The midfielder led the Owls in points (68) and finished second on the team in goals (44), assists (24), shots (115), and game-winning goals (2). She also ranked third on the squad in ground balls (31) and caused turnovers (14). Mastropietro finished in the top six in the American in six different statistical categories, including goals and assists. Where the junior truly stood out though was the draw control circle. Mastropietro set a new single-season record for draw controls (105), surpassing the mark of 87 Whitaker set last season. The Springfield, Pa. native leads the American in draw controls per game (6.00) by a wide margin. Mastropietro won AAC Weekly awards in eight out of 12 weeks.
Mastropietro is the 67th All-American selection in Temple lacrosse history.
