Graf, ElBouazzaoui Named to 2025 IWLCA All-Atlantic Region First Team

Seniors Sam Graf and Lailah ElBouazzaoui of the Kutztown University women's lacrosse team have been named to the 2025 Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) All-Atlantic Region First Team. This marks the third career All-Region honor for both Golden Bears.

Graf, a midfielder and the program's all-time leader in points, goals, and draw controls, turned in a standout senior season. She ranked third in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) in goals per game, finishing the year with 60 total goals-including a program-record eight in a single game. Graf also placed eighth in the conference with 28 assists and led the PSAC in caused turnovers with 52, a mark that ranks fifth nationally and falls just two shy of Kutztown's single-season record. She added 30 ground balls and 64 draw controls, the fourth-highest single-season total in program history.

ElBouazzaoui, an attacker, capped off her collegiate career by moving into second place all-time at Kutztown in both points and goals. She scored 48 goals, ranking tenth in the PSAC in goals per game, and tallied a career-high 62 draw controls-fifth-most in a single season at KU. Her 14 draw controls in a single game set a new program record, surpassing her previous mark of 13. She also recorded 16 assists, 12 ground balls, and six caused turnovers on the season.

With their regional selections, Graf and ElBouazzaoui are now eligible for IWLCA All-America honors. The IWLCA will announce the 2025 Division II All-American teams May 21.
