Messiah has two players who have been previously named to NCAA all-tournament teams (Danae Chambers 2001 & 2002; Erica Nelson 2002). Chambers briefly shared an NCAA tournament record for assists in a game when she tallied three assists in Messiah’s 6-1 second-round victory over Virginia Wesleyan. Melissa Webster of Salisbury broke the record with four assists vs. Drew two days later. Fisher scored four goals vs. Virginia Wesleyan in the Falcons 6-1 second-round victory, one off the NCAA record of five goals in one game.
