Campaño Named NFHCA Second Team All-Northeast Region

HANOVER, N.H. — Following an impressive rookie campaign, Lucia Campaño was honored with NFHCA second team All-Region on Wednesday. Campaño led the Big Green in goals (8) and points (19), including scoring five of Dartmouth's nine goals in Ivy League play. She was also named second team All-Ivy League following the season.

This marks the second straight season Dartmouth has had an All-Region honoree, as Campaño is only the third Big Green student-athlete to earn that distinction since 2015. Bronwyn Bird was named to the second team in 2022, while Katie Spanos earned second-team recognition in 2018 and 2019.

Campaño got better and better as the year progressed, scoring a goal in five of the last six games, including two in the season finale, a 3-1 win vs. Columbia. It marked her first-career multi-goal game, as she ended her rookie season. Her eight goals were the most by a Big Green first year since Ali Savage had 12 in 2011. Campaño finished top 50 nationally in goals per game on the season (0.53).

Campaño's five goals in conference play were tied for third in the Ivy League. The run began with a goal at La Salle, before she also scored in the ensuing three contests — at Yale, Sacred Heart and vs. Princeton. Campaño became the first Dartmouth player to score in four straight games since Spanos in 2018. The goal against the Tigers marked Dartmouth's first vs. Princeton since 2015.

Lucia Campaño's goal vs. Princeton Saturday was meaningful in multiple ways.

After going scoreless at No. 19 UMass, Campaño ended with a vengeance against the Lions, which earned her Dartmouth Female Athlete of the Week honors. Campaño's overtime game-winning goal at Colgate was named an NFHCA Play of the Month in September.

As a team, the Big Green made major strides in 2023, finishing 6-9, their most wins since 2018 and fewest losses since 2012. Dartmouth picked up big Ivy League wins over Brown and Columbia. Against the Bears, the Big Green picked up their first Ivy League shutout since 2012 and first shutout of the Bears since 2005. In the 3-1 win over Columbia, Dartmouth beat Columbia by multiple goals for the first time since 2015 and ended the season with two multi-goal Ivy League wins for the first time since 2014.
