DURHAM – Four Blue Devils received All-America honors Thursday from the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) as
Catriona Barry,
Cubby Biscardi,
Olivia Carner and
Maddie Jenner earned recognition.
The IWLCA has named the 48 student-athletes who were selected for one of the 2022 Division I All-American teams – honorees are divided into first, second, and third teams. This group of IWLCA All-Americans represent 19 different institutions and are the best athletes in our game this year.
Jenner was tabbed to the first team, Barry landed a spot on the second team while Biscardi and Carner were named to the third team. Jenner earned the accolade for the second time in her career.
An attacker and draw specialist, Jenner returned to the circle in 2022 as the best in the sport at the draw and was spectacular all spring, finishing with 233 draws in 20 games. In Duke's win at High Point, Jenner grabbed a career-high 21, surpassing her previous best of 19. That is the most in a single game in Duke history, besting her sister Olivia's 20 in 2019. She was instrumental in helping control the tempo of the game by winning the draw and allowing Duke to hold possession. She also owned 30 points (28G, 2A) this season. Over the course of her career, she has amassed 604 total draws and is the nation's NCAA active career leader in draw controls per game (9.29) and total draw controls (604). She broke Duke's all-time draw control record in the win over Davidson on March 20, 2022, a record previously owned by her sister, Olivia. She broke the NCAA single season draw control record this spring with 233.
After being named one of 25 Tewaaraton Award nominees, Barry was unstoppable this season for the Blue Devils as arguably one of the best offensive players in the country. With at least four goals in nine of the 20 games this season, Barry leads the team with 56 goals and 37 assists for 93 points. In Duke's 22-13 victory over High Point (2/20/22), the Napa, Calif., native tallied 11 points (7G, 4A), which tied for first on Duke's individual single-game records list. In Duke's victory at Virginia Tech, Barry dished a career-high six dimes, which ties for first on Duke's individual single-game records list. She closed her Duke career with 193 career points to rank 11th in program history. Her 93 points this spring are third in Duke history.
A junior defender, Biscardi helped spearhead a tough Duke defense all season. Duke's scoring defense (11.00 GAA) is 26th nationally and third in the conference, while its 11.30 caused turnovers per game is sixth nationally. Individually, Biscardi is ranked 10th nationally with 2.10 caused turnovers per game and posted a career-high five caused turnover performance against Penn. She owns 72 career caused turnovers to rank 12th on Duke's all-time records list as just a junior.
A junior midfielder, Carner took huge strides this season both offensively and defensively and was named to the Tewaaraton Watch List for her efforts. She finished third on the team with 50 points from 31 goals and 19 assists and shot .484 percent. Defensively, she is second on the squad with an impressive 33 caused turnovers and also has 23 draw controls and 20 ground balls. Against Pittsburgh and Penn, Carner was stellar for Duke on both sides of the field. She tallied a career-high six points (3G, 3A) and a career-high four caused turnovers against Pittsburgh. She followed that performance with three goals against Penn. She has registered three-or-more points in 11 contests this season.
