The ACC revealed its yearly awards for women’s lacrosse on Wednesday, with UNC claiming four of the five honors after a dominant regular season.

Jamie Ortega was named the league’s Attacker of the Year after leading the conference in scoring with a whopping 73 goals and 23 assists.

Ally Mastroianni earned Midfielder of the Year status by leading UNC with 94 draw controls while also scoring 29 goals. She has also picked up 12 ground balls and forced six turnovers.

ACC Defender of the Year was awarded to goalie Taylor Moreno, who is a Tewaaraton Award nominee after leading the nation with a 5.94 goals against average.

The final award was the ACC Coach of the Year, which went to UNC head coach Jenny Levy–who has guided the Tar Heels to an 18-0 record and 25 consecutive victories overall. This is her sixth time winning this award throughout her illustrious career.

UNC was only shut out of the league’s Freshman of the Year honor, an award that went to Belle Smith of Boston College.
