WASHINGTON, D.C. – Six members of the St. Bonaventure women's lacrosse team have been honored with postseason Atlantic 10 All-Conference awards, conference officials announced Wednesday.
 
Senior captains Brooke Piper and Brit Colangelo claimed two of the A-10's major season awards as Piper was crowned the Midfielder of the Year and Colangelo was honored as Defensive Player of the Year. Both were also named to the All-Conference First Team while Piper also earned selection to the All-Academic Team.

Fellow senior Megan Schillinger was selected to the All-Conference Second Team as a midfielder. Freshmen Gracie Williams, Riley Milligan and Brooke Owens were each honored as part of the All-Rookie Team.
 
This year's total of six different postseason honorees marks the most in program history and improves upon last year's total of five.
 
Piper becomes the first Bonnie to ever be named the A-10 Midfielder of the Year after an incredibly productive season in which she scored 60 goals, a mark that ranked second in the conference and ninth in the nation. Her 69 total points stood third in the conference and 36th among all Division I players. Her goal total was good for the third highest in a single season in program history while her point total ranked eighth in the same manner.
 
The Aurora, Ontario native recorded 12 hat tricks on the season, paving the way for the Bonnies' offense in many contests. She also tallied 61 draw controls, the second-most on the team and sixth-most in single-season program history, while adding 27 groundballs and 15 caused turnovers.
 
She set new single-game program records in both points (11) and goals (9) in a dominating 19-9 win over La Salle, also breaking the program's career scoring record with her 155th career goal on the first possession of the game against Duquesne. She scored nine points on (7G-2A) that day against the Dukes.
 
With three A-10 Offensive Player of the Week selections this season, Piper collected the most such honors in the conference this year as well as the most in Bonnies single-season history. Also excelling in the classroom, she polished a 3.88 cumulative GPA as a psychology major to secure a spot on the conference's All-Academic Team.
 
Piper has now earned conference postseason honors for the third straight season after being selected to the All-Conference Second Team in 2024 and improving to the All-Conference First Team in 2025.
 
Fellow captain Brit Colangelo's selection as the A-10 Defensive Player of the Year marks the first for SBU since Eboni Preston, a member of the St. Bonaventure Athletics Hall of Fame, won the award in 2008. Colangelo led the conference with 40 caused turnovers, a total that ranks fourth in single-season program history and gave her the 19th-most caused turnovers per game in the nation (2.35).
 
The Scarborough, Ontario native also scooped 43 groundballs this season, good for the most on the team and second-most in the conference. She was named the A-10 Defensive Player of the Week after causing six turnovers and securing three groundballs across two games against Furman (3/4) and Davidson (3/7).
 
Colangelo has now been selected for an A-10 postseason award in every season of her career. She made the All-Rookie Team in 2023, graduating to the All-Conference Second Team in 2024 and then the All-Conference First Team in 2025.
 
Classmate Megan Schillinger earned her A-10 All-Conference Second Team selection after a stellar season both on attack and in the draw control circle. Schillinger, the Bonnies' all-time draw controls leader with 305 total, secured 84 draws this year to place fourth in the conference and second in single-season program history.
 
The Rush, N.Y. native added 33 points (24G-9A) as a starter in all but one contest. She has now made the All-Conference Second Team in back-to-back seasons.
 
The selection of three Bona's freshmen (Gracie Williams, Riley Milligan and Brooke Owens) to the A-10 All-Rookie Team marks the most in program history.
 
Milligan ranked fifth on the team with 28 points (18G-10A), providing a burst of offense in her first season. The Weddington, N.C. native recorded six games with multiple goals and three games with multiple assists. She scored a hat trick against George Mason.
 
Williams directly trailed Milligan with 24 points (16G-8A), the sixth-most on the team. She recently scored a single-game career high of five goals against La Salle, leading the team in scoring that day. The Cattaraugus, N.Y. native was named the A-10 Rookie of the Week after scoring four points (3G-1A) against George Mason, a game in which she notched a hat trick before halftime.
 
On the defensive side, Owens earned her first-year distinction after starting in all 16 of her appearances and securing the second-most groundballs on the team (29). The Syracuse, N.Y. native posted two single-game career highs against La Salle as she tallied four groundballs and three caused turnovers. Her 14 total caused turnovers were the fifth-most of any Bonnie this year.
 
Bona's award-winning student-athletes will get their next chances for success this coming Thursday as the No. 3 seeded Bonnies will face off with No. 6 George Washington at 3:00 p.m. in the quarterfinals of the Atlantic 10 Tournament, hosted by Davidson. The winner will advance to play No. 2 VCU in the semifinals on Friday. Fans can catch all the tournament's action on ESPN+.
