The Southwestern League girls’ lacrosse coaches recently met with Murrieta Mesa Athletic Director John Broussard to go over the selections for the All-League teams. Murrieta Mesa hosted the meeting since they were the top team in the standings and have now won back-to-back Southwestern League championships. The Lady Rams finished sixth in the final 2022 Division 2 coaches rankings, finished the regular season 20-3 and for the second consecutive year went undefeated (10-0) in league.
Along with their first-place league finish, Murrieta Mesa made a run through the CIF Southern Section Division 2 playoffs, all the way to the finals, but lost to Newport Harbor, 11-6. On top of their season success, the Lady Rams also housed the Offensive MVP of the Southwestern League this year, Carson Dickey, who led all scorers with 79 goals. Chaparral, along with their second-place finish, and postseason appearances as well, showcased the Defensive MVP, Kristiana Dinsenbacher, who had 199 overall saves in the goalie box.
