DURHAM, N.H. – Seniors Allie Connerty (Norwell, Mass.) and Abby Hawkes (Amherst, N.H.) have been named captains of the 2025 University of New Hampshire women's lacrosse team. The announcement was made by UNH's first-year head coach Taylor Bastien on Thursday.
"We are excited to name Allie and Abby as our captains for the 2025 campaign," Bastien said. "Each has demonstrated strong leadership qualities since I stepped on campus. They both have a strong passion for the game and the program which will be at the forefront as they lead us this season."
Connerty played in 13 of 14 games with nine starts in the 2024 season. She recorded 10 goals and 12 assists for a total of 22 points to tie for the team lead in assists and tie for fourth in points; she also ranked 10th in the America East conference in assists per game.
Connerty scored a goal in six games and tallied a point in nine, including two multiple-goal games and four multiple-assists games as part of eight multiple-point efforts. Other stats for the attacker, who was named to the America East Academic Honor Roll, included 10 ground balls, three caused turnovers and a draw control.
Hawkes, another attacker, was named to both the IWLCA Academic Honor Roll and America East Commissioner's Honor Roll last season. She played seven games with starts against both UConn and Dartmouth College. Hawkes' stats included three goals for three points, one ground ball and one caused turnover. UNH won two of the three games in which she scored a goal.
New Hampshire begins the 2025 season Feb. 9 (12 p.m.) against Marist College at Wildcat Stadium.
