SOUTH BEND, Ind. – A 2024 Tewaaraton Nominee and First Team All-ACC honoree, the University of Notre Dame’s Jackie Wolak has been named the ACC Women’s Lacrosse Attacker of the Year, as announced by the conference Wednesday afternoon.
With 92 points thus far, Wolak leads the team in the category while also boasting the most goals (54) and assists (38), having started all 18 contests for the Irish this season. In her 18 games played, the Ridgewood, New Jersey native averages over five points per game and has ranked among the nation’s top scorers throughout the duration of the season.
Her nearly 100 points this season through the ACC Tournament ranks fifth nationally and leads all ACC attackers while her 5.11 points per game average is also top-15 in the country.
In conference play, the graduate owns 27 goals and more than half of her total points in nine ACC games played.
At the ACC Tournament last week, Wolak posted 10 points over two games played, including four goals and three assists in the team’s 14-12 win over Clemson to advance to their fourth consecutive conference semifinal and was later named to the All-Tournament team.
An ILWomen Midseason First Team All-American honoree, Wolak came one point shy of the program record in one of her final regular season games at Arlotta. When the Irish hosted Pitt at the end of March, Wolak soared to a career-best 11 points behind five goals and six assists and tied the program record for assists in a game.
The graduate attacker has recorded a hat trick in 11 games this season, six of which came against conference foes while she boasts multi-point games in all but one contest this year.
Wolak becomes just the first ACC Attacker of the Year honoree for the Irish while picking up the first conference yearly award for the team since Barbara Sullivan was named Defensive Player of the Year in 2016. The last offensive player of the year recognition came in 2009 when Jillian Byers was named the Big East Attack Player o the Year.
