Four Selected Inside Lacrosse Preseason All-America
2/3/2023 9:34:00 AM | Women's Lacrosse
DURHAM – A quartet of Blue Devils were selected 2023 Division I Preseason All-American honorees, as announced by Inside Lacrosse on Friday.
Maddie Jenner was selected to the first team, while Cubby Biscardi and Olivia Carner garnered spots on the third team, followed by Katie DeSimone as an honorable mention.
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) last 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 the NCAA single season draw control record last spring (233), Duke's all-time draw control record and is 42 shy of breaking the NCAA career record.
As a defender, Biscardi helped spearhead a tough Duke defense all season. Duke's scoring defense (11.00 GAA) was 26th nationally and third in the conference, while its 11.30 caused turnovers per game was sixth nationally. Individually, Biscardi was 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 heading into her senior year.
As a midfielder, Carner took huge strides last 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. Defensively, she was second on the squad with an impressive 33 caused turnovers and also grabbed 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. As one of Duke's most complete players, she registered three or more points in 11 contests this season.
As an attacker, DeSimone had standout performances on the offensive front for the Blue Devils last season and looks to continue her success with the departure of All-American Catriona Barry. The native of Bay Shore, N.Y., finished the season second on the team with 85 points (60G, 25A) and a .508 shooting percentage. DeSimone ranked 26th nationally in total points during the spring and had 13 games with four or more points. She also picked up 19 ground balls and 10 caused turnovers. In Duke's setback at No. 3 Syracuse, DeSimone dished a career-high five dimes, which tied for second on Duke's single-game records list.
Duke opens the season Friday, Feb. 10 against Navy at 2 p.m., in Koskinen Stadium. Season tickets and single game tickets are available for purchase here.
