Amy Rizzo and Trish Parker Named Second Team All-NEC

4/28/05 -- Sophomore attacker Amy Rizzo (Jackson, N.J.) and senior goalkeeper Trish Parker (Long Branch, N.J.) today were named second team All-Northeast Conference for Long Island University’s women’s lacrosse squad.

Rizzo, a first team All-NEC selection last season, continued this year to make her mark as one of the league’s preeminent scorers. The 5-0 standout broke her own single-season school record with 45 goals and 61 points. Rizzo is 10th in the country with 4.36 points per game and 11th with 3.21 goals per game, both of which lead the conference.

She enjoyed several record-breaking contests this year. Rizzo broke her own school record with seven goals March 30 against Central Connecticut State and three times tied her own record with eight assists versus Central Connecticut State, Canisius on March 11 and Robert Morris on April 8.

Parker stepped into the starting role this season and made an immediate impact. The 5-6 backstop is fourth in the league with a .481 save percentage and fifth with an 11.25 goals-against average. Parker competed in 13 contests this season with 12 starts.

In addition to totaling 29 ground balls and eight caused turnovers, Parker notched a season-best 17 saves April 5 at Quinnipiac and 12 on a pair of occasions for LIU (4-10, 3-5 NEC).
