While Spilis put together a career year, she also rewrote the record books. The Seneca High School product became Rutgers all-time leader in points scored with 281. She also set the school record for career draw controls (313) and broke her own single-season record with 74 goals.
Her latest accolade also represents how well Rutgers women’s lacrosse is regarded. This is the third straight season the program has had at least one student-athlete earn first-team laurels by at least one publication under head coach Melissa Lehman.
As Spilis prepares for life after Rutgers, she leaves behind an impressive legacy that includes countless unforgettable moments. Her latest award is a reminder of the impact she made.
