2025 GLIAC ATTACKER OF THE YEAR
Josie Lakosky, Northern Michigan
After being named the 2024 GLIAC Freshman of the Year, the Victoria, Minnesota native Josie Lakosky has been named the 2025 GLIAC Attacker of the Year. The sophomore is having a record-breaking season for the Wildcats, setting career-highs in almost every statistical category in fewer games played, and breaking the NMU single-game point record twice in a three-game stretch. The attacker earned GLIAC weekly honors four times this season and was named the IWLCA National Co-Offensive Player of the Week thanks to her 13-point outing, which ranks sixth nationally and just two points behind the highest single-game point total in all of DII women’s lacrosse this year. Across all competitions this season, Lakosky paced the conference in goals (66), goals per game (3.88), points (85), points per game (5.00), shots (161), shots per game (9.47), is second in draw controls (75) and draw controls per game (4.41), and is third in total assists (19). Among conference-only statistics, Lakosky led the GLIAC in goals per game (3.63), shots (87), and shots per game (10.88). Lakosky can also be found atop multiple categories in single-game highs across the conference, including the two highest single-game point totals, eight of the top ten single game shot totals, four of the top six single-game goals, and the most assists in a single game.

Susie Monson, Concordia-St. Paul

Monson was named the GLIAC Offensive Player of the Week two times this season after posting back-to-back five goal weeks. She has been pivotal in guiding the Golden Bears to their best conference finish all-time and has continued to lead the GLIAC in draw controls per game through the entirety of the season.
2025 GLIAC DEFENDER OF THE YEAR
Claire Flahaven, Concordia-St. Paul
Claire Flahaven becomes the first GLIAC Defender of the Year in program history after accumulating 25 ground balls and 22 caused turnovers on the season.

Grand Valley State junior goalkeeper Sarah Krause was named the GLIAC Goalkeeper of the Year. Krause led the GLIAC with a .548 save percentage, posting a league-best 7.26 goals against average. She totaled 69 saves and 30 ground balls, facing 235 shots on the year. The Severna Park, Maryland native, recorded seven games of allowing three or fewer goals, including five games allowing just one goal against. She notched seven games with five or more saves, with a season-high nine versus Northern Michigan. The one-time GLIAC Defensive Player of the Week tallied the 100th save ofher career earlier this season.

She has put up 93 saves and a .500 save percentage to become one of the most influential goalies for the Navy and Gold in season history and currently ranks fifth in NCAA DII in save percentage and sixth in ground balls per game with 4.38.
