NAPERVILLE – Carroll’s Grace Tumilty and Illinois Wesleyan’s Mia Fiandaca were among the Division III Women’s All-Americans selected by USA Lacrosse on Wednesday, May 14.
 
Both players received Honorable Mention – the first-ever All-America awards at Carroll and Illinois Wesleyan. USA Lacrosse All-Americans are selected by staff and contributors. Both Tumilty and Fiandaca were also selected All-Region by the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) earlier this month.
 
Tumilty – the 2024 CCIW Defensive Student-Athlete of the Year – just completed a season in which she led the Pioneers to a 13-4 record. A two-time First Team All-CCIW performer, and an Honorable Mention All-America selection this year by USA Lacrosse Magazine, Tumilty led the league in ground balls with 77, which ranks fifth in Carroll history, while also leading the CCIW in caused turnovers with 67, which ranks second in program history, just seven shy of the single-season school record
 
The 2025 CCIW Defensive Student-Athlete of the Year, Fiandaca earned her second First Team All-CCIW honor and broke the single-season IWU record for caused turnovers, totaling 58 over 12 games, a program-best average of 4.83 per game. She also broke the single-season record for ground balls per game with an average of 3.92, as she led the Titans with 47 ground balls this season. Fiandaca finished with the team lead in goals (36) and points (28), and her average of three goals per game is the second-best season average all-time.
