CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – After finishing up a strong rookie season, Lesley University freshman Frances De Leon (Murrieta, Calif.) has been named to the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) First Team All-Conference Singles team. Classmate Grace Ciampa (Tewksbury, Mass.) was named to the NECC All-Tournament team after her win in second singles in the NECC Semifinals against Bay Path.

De Leon had a fantastic freshman campaign going 6-1 in conference singles play, primarily in the No. 4 slot, while also picking up four wins in doubles competition. The freshman put together two separate three-match winning streaks while also being bumped up to third singles at the end of the year.
