The Blaine Steinberg '15 Award: Kristen Maiorano '19
Voted on by the members of that season's team, this award is presented annually to the Big Green women's lacrosse player who displays relentless positivity and empathy towards her teammates. The accolade is named for Blaine Steinberg '15, a member of the women's lacrosse team for two seasons who tragically passed away on March 7, 2014, leaving behind a legacy of devotion to friends and family, her love of sports, an infectious laugh and relentless positivity.

Patty Pierce Award: Lauren D'Amico '19

Presented to the player who exemplifies extraordinary dedication, true coachability and an unselfish attitude throughout the season.

The senior class also presented gifts and tokens of appreciation to Spencer, Flores and Whittle for all of the long hours and hard work the coaching staff had put into making this season the most successful in recent history.

Additionally, the team's athletic trainer Amanda Leitch, team manager Bre Lowe, strength & conditioning coach James Pasquin, sports psychologist Mark Hiatt and game day statistician Cindi Mansell were also recognized for their contributions to the program.

The 2019 Dartmouth women's lacrosse team won its 12th Ivy League title and made its 15th all-time appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
