Four Syracuse players earned All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors Thursday after the completion of the season last weekend. Charlotte de Vries and Eefke van den Nieuwenhof were named to the All-ACC first team, and Laura Graziosi and Pleun Lammers earned second-team honors.

The four scored 17 goals total and tallied seven assists, leading the Orange to a .500 season and standing at 8-8 and 4-6 in conference play.

de Vries was named to the first team in 2019 and ACC All-Tournament team this fall. This season, she tallied five goals on the season and three assists.

van den Nieuwenhof also earned ACC All-Tournament team honors and was named ACC Defensive Player of the Week in the fall. She anchored a Syracuse defense that has allowed an average of 1.8 goals per game, accounted for two saves and notched in three goals and two assists as a defender.



Graziosi, who was listed on the All-ACC preseason team and was on the All-ACC second team in 2019, scored four goals and tallied eight points on the season. She scored two goals in the ACC quarterfinals, including the game-winner off of a steal in overtime, to lift Syracuse over Duke.

Lammers won ACC Co-Player of the Week twice in the spring, she also scored five goals and recorded two assists this season. She scored two goals Sunday in a comeback that fell short against top-ranked UNC.

None of the Orange’s three seniors have announced if they intend to use their extra year of eligibility, but all four ACC honorees will return this fall.
