BOSTON -- Bryant women's lacrosse senior Jessica Tosone was named the America East Defensive Player of the Year, while seven Bulldogs earned All-America East honors on Thursday as the league unveiled its year-end awards.

Tosone made it back-to-back defensive players of the year for the Bulldogs as she follows teammate Kaelynn O'Brien who earned the award in 2025. The fearsome defensive duo both repeated as first team selections and were joined by Gabriella Constant, Emily DeGeorge and Riley O'Mara. Julia Girard earned second team honors and was joined on the all-rookie team by Leyna Schnetzer. Tosone, O'Brien and DeGeorge were named to the America East All-Academic team.
