BURLINGTON, Vt. - Vermont midfielder Kristen Millar continues to pile up accolades following her junior campaign for the women's lacrosse team. Millar was named to the WomensLacrosse.com All-America Third Team this week. She becomes the first Catamount to be honored by the website in the program's history.
Last week, Millar garnered IWLCA Regional All-America honors for the third straight year and was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District I At-Large Team.
Millar owns a 3.52 GPA as an elementary education major is the first women's lacrosse player at Vermont to earn a spot on the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District I At-Large Team.
Millar led the Catamounts to one of their most successful seasons in school history. Vermont finished 5-1 in America East (8-9 overall), posting the most conference wins and its highest league finish (2nd) in the program's history. The Catamounts also returned to the America East Women's Lacrosse Championship for the first time since 2003.
Millar led the team in goals (35), assists (26), points (61), ground balls (58), draw controls (74) and caused turnovers (26) for the third consecutive year. She ranked third in the country in draw controls per game (4.24) and ninth in ground balls per game (3.41). Millar was named to the America East All-Conference First Team and All-Academic Team for her efforts this season.
She became Vermont's all-time leader in points (178) and assists this season (71) and will enter her senior season 27 goals shy of becoming the all-time leading goal scorer in UVM history. Millar also ranks second among the NCAA's all-time leaders in draw controls with 257 for her career. She moved into second place all-time with eight draw controls in a win over Albany, UVM's first-ever victory over the Great Danes, and collected a season-high 12 draws in America East Semifinals versus New Hampshire.
Millar was one of four America East women's lacrosse student-athletes named to one of the three teams.
