2008 IWLCA/US Lacrosse Division I All-American Teams in PDF Format 
WEST HYANNISPORT, Mass. - A week after being named to the IWLCA All-South Region Team for the second consecutive season, senior attacker Laura King was selected a Third-Team All-American by the IWLCA and US Lacrosse. King becomes the first All-American for the Patriots since Meg Dentler earned Third Team honors in 2005.
A superb all-around performer, King wrapped up her career this past season ranking second in school history in career goals and points, fifth in draw controls, and ninth in assists and caused turnovers. King made the All-CAA Team for the third straight season, earning First Team honors for the second consecutive year, and was also selected to the CAA Championship All-Tournament Team for the second time in her career. The Springfield, Pa. native led the team in goals (42), assists (15), points (57), game-winning goals (4), draw controls (35), and ranked second on the team in caused turnovers (25) and shooting percentage (.467) during the 2008 season.
King's play helped lead the Patriots to the best season in the 15-year history of the program in 2008, as the team set a school record with 12 wins and tied the school record for conference wins with five. George Mason reached the highest ranking in school history earlier this year, reaching the No. 9 spot in both national polls. After a two-year hiatus, Mason returned to the CAA Championship Tournament, taking on Towson in the semifinal round.
In addition to King, the IWLCA and US Lacrosse honored 47 other student-athletes in Division I with a selection to one of three All-American teams. The IWLCA and US Lacrosse will honor the National All-Americans at an awards banquet on June 14 in King of Prussia, Pa.
