Indianapolis - The No. 11 Maryville women's lacrosse team picked up four major postseason awards and had 10 All-Conference selections as announced Friday by the Great Lakes Valley Conference prior to the start of the 2023 GLVC Tournament.
 
Sydney Tiemann was voted Attacker of the Year, Ronnie Skorcz named the Defender of the Year, Helen Bae was selected Freshman of the Year and Melissa Gyllenborg earned Coach of the Year honors. Skorcz and Tiemann were also first-team All-GLVC selections. Bae, Jessie Hynes, Skyler Jolie, and Tiemann as Draw Specialist garnered All-GLVC second team recognition. Hollie Bekeske, Baylee Chrismore, Reagan Rukstad and Olivia Sardina were named to the All-GLVC Honorable Mention squad. Lexi Taylor is Maryville's nominee for the James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award.
 
Tiemann broke the NCAA Division II single-season scoring record with 106 goals this season and leads all three levels of NCAA women's lacrosse. She scored at least three goals in 16 of 17 games this season and her 119 points tops the country. Tiemann fired in 11 goals at Missouri Western, the most in the nation this season. Her efforts pace the No. 1 scoring offense in the county at 19.71 goals per game. She has earned the GLVC Offensive Player of the Week award five times this season, and the IWLCA tabbed her twice as the National Offensive Player of the Week.
 
Skorcz has been the lynchpin of the Maryville defense. She has amassed 31 caused turnovers, 32 ground balls and snared 48 draw controls. Skorcz and the Saints defense is only surrendering 8.77 goals per game. Her efforts have directed Maryville to the most ground balls in the GLVC. Skorcz has helped the Saints rank sixth in the nation in clearing percentage at 88.1 percent and 16th in scoring defense.
 
Bae ranks 19th in the nation in scoring with 56 goals thus far. She has scored multiple goals in 14 games and has at least one point in every game this year. Bae fired in 10 goals against Rockhurst and is just one of three players this season who tallied double-digit goals in a game. She has 46 draw controls on the season with 25 ground ball pickups and 12 caused turnover. Bae ranks second in the nation to Tiemann in free position goals per game at 1.53.
 
Gyllenborg helmed the Saints to the most successful season in program history with a sparkling 16-1 record. Maryville leads Division II in victories with 16 and is tied with Denver for the most over all three levels of the NCAA. Gyllenborg directed Maryville to its first national ranking in program history, and the Saints are currently No. 7 in the USA Lacrosse poll and No. 11 in the IWLCA ranking. She has been the architect of the No. 1 offense in the country, and the Saints rank fourth in scoring margin at +10.94.
 
The Saints are the No. 2 seed for the GLVC Tournament and face No. 3 seed Rockhurst in the semifinals Friday, April 28, at 6 pm CT/ 7 pm ET at Key Stadium on the campus of the University of Indianapolis.
