COLCHESTER, Vt. - Six Saint Michael's College women's lacrosse players combined to earn seven Northeast 10 Conference postseason awards on Tuesday, as voted upon by the league's coaches.
Â
Juniors
Julia Barbato (Reading, Mass./Reading Memorial) and
Audrey Conover (West Newbury, Mass./Pentucket Regional) both landed on the NE10 All-Conference second team, while classmate
Ginnie Hamilton (Middletown, R.I./Middletown) and first-year
Aby Amigo (Essex, Mass./Pingree School) were NE10 All-Conference third team selections. Amigo, sophomore
Kayla Adam (New Egypt, N.J./New Egypt/Saint Francis [Pa.]) and first-year
Lily Krawciw (Weymouth, Mass./Weymouth) earned spots on the NE10 All-Rookie Team.
Â
Four Purple Knights claimed all-conference accolades for the first time since 2004, as Barbato and Conover were repeat selections after nabbing third team nods in 2025. Multiple players were chosen for the second team or higher for the first time since 2008, while Amigo became the third goalkeeper in program history named all-league, joining SMC Athletic Hall of Famer
Kelly Sharenko '00 (1999, 2000) and
Jess Anderson '05 (2004, 2005).
Â
Barbato was among five second team defenders while tying for third in the NE10 in both ground balls (38) and caused turnovers (29). Her 29 caused turnovers this season were good for seventh in program history, and she heads into her senior season seventh in school annals with 72 for a career. Barbato scooped at least three ground balls in seven games while forcing multiple turnovers eight times, posting seven ground balls and six caused turnovers - matching the most by an NE10 player in the last two years - at American International College on April 18.
Â
One of five second team midfielders, Conover finished with the fourth-highest point total in program history (62) this spring, tallying the most by a Purple Knight since 2008, and the fourth-best assist figure (22), recording the most since 2014. Her 40 goals were also good for 10th, also with the highest since 2008. Conover is sixth in the league in points, tied for ninth in goals, and 11th in assists. She added 40 draw controls, 22 ground balls and 18 caused turnovers, and nears the top 10 in program history in career goals (77), assists (35), points (112), draw controls (94) and caused turnovers (45) heading into her senior campaign.
Â
Hamilton was one of four third team attackers, keying the offense with career highs of 38 goals, 13 assists and 51 points while also setting a school record with 83 draw controls, good for fifth in the NE10. Her 165 career draw controls leave her just seven short of another program mark, as she pulled down at least 10 three times this year, including netting 12 against 22nd-ranked Saint Anselm College on March 25. Hamilton owns 80 career goals and 107 points, scoring the final four goals to secure a 10-9 overtime win against Assumption University on March 31 before tallying six times in a season-ending setback to Bentley University on April 21.
Â
Amigo, one of three all-conference netminders in the league, assumed the starting goalkeeping job in the third game of the season and never relinquished the role, playing every second over the final 15 contests. She is second in the NE10 in minutes (948:14), third in saves per game (9.5) and fourth in save percentage (.444) after setting a school record for saves by a rookie (162), good for sixth overall in program annals, and the most since
Sandy Palumbo '12 had 202 in 2011. Amigo played the fourth-most minutes in school history, within 41:46 of another rookie record.
Â
After not appearing in any games at Division I Saint Francis (Pa.) University in 2025, Adam contributed to the defense this season with 11 starts in 15 appearances. She turned in 13 ground balls and 12 caused turnovers, posting seven ground balls and five caused turnovers in the final three games without committing a giveaway. On March 28, she had a breakout game with four caused turnovers and three ground balls at No. 16 Adelphi University.
Â
Krawciw collected six goals and 15 ground balls out of the midfield, adding five caused turnovers, four draw controls and a pair of assists. She scored her first college goal at No. 12 Flagler College - now the No. 1 team in the nation - on Feb. 15 while picked up ground balls in 11 games, scooping multiple ground balls four times.
