DAVIS, Calif. -- Senior attacker Katie McMahon was the lone UC Davis representative on the 2008 All-Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Women's Lacrosse Team, it was announced by conference executive director Al Beaird on Thursday. Additionally, Denver's Kelly O'Connell was named MPSF Player of the Year while Cal head coach Theresa Sherry was selected as MPSF Coach of the Year.

She also led the Aggies in assists (19) and caused turnovers (32), while finishing among team leaders in ground balls (41) and draw controls (31). This is her second career All-MPSF award, as she made the team as a junior in 2006.

A triple Division II All-American as a freshman in 2004, McMahon holds numerous school records in her UC Davis career. Most notably, she set single-season marks of 69 goals and 83 total points in 2005, while taking over the career scoring record after just two seasons.
