CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Kerri Caruso and Natalie Ledwitz earned Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID) second-team all-state honors, as announced by the organization Friday morning.
Caruso and Ledwitz combined for 64 of the team's 184 caused turnovers as they wreaked havoc on opponents' offensive spreads. Both ladies started all 18 games on defense for the Lady Monarchs, helping the team to a 9-9, 5-5 record.
A junior from Port Washington, N.Y., Ledwitz transitioned from a midfielder to playing defense for the Lady Monarchs after off-season injuries plagued the team.
