Manchester Essex graduate Lily Athanas recently wrapped up her collegiate lacrosse career in style.
A senior at Division 1 Georgetown University, the former Hornets star has been named to the All-Big East First Team. She joins two of her Georgetown teammates (Gracie Driggs & Maley Starr) with the honor and is one of 16 total players to earn First Team recognition.
A starter on defense, Athanas appeared in all 17 of the Hoyas games this season. She finished second on the team in both ground balls (39) and caused turnovers (16). She also won 40 draw controls, again the second best mark on the team.
A former Gloucester Daily Times Female Athlete of the Year (2021) and Cape Ann League Baker Division Player of the Year in both field hockey and lacrosse, Athanas is an honor roll student at Georgetown.
