Whitaker Named All-Metro Conference Third Team

Canisius senior midfielder Jessica Whitaker has been named an All-Metro Conference Third Team selection, league officials announced Monday.

The announcement marked the third time in four seasons that the Darlington, England native has garnered all-conference accolades. Whitaker was an All-MAAC First Team selection as a junior and earned All-MAAC Second Team distinction during her freshman campaign in 2023.

Starting all 11 Metro Conference games she played, Whitaker was on the field for 912 of a possible 990 minutes. She finished tied for the team lead with three assists during league play, with all three of her helpers being the primary assist on the game-winning goal. She also ranked fifth on the squad in both shots (12) and shots on goal (7) against conference opponents.

In major awards handed out Monday, Sacred Heart's Shea Kelleher was named the Metro Conference's Golden Boot winner. The league's Golden Glove went to Siena's Cate Burns while Quinnipiac's Anna Bean garnered Metro Defensive Player of the Year honors. Niagara's Naiya Johnston earned Rookie of the Year honors and Purple Eagles' Donny George was tabbed the Metro Coach of the Year.
