A former Richmond star athlete continues to shine down south in the world of collegiate lacrosse.

McMath secondary alumna Teagan Ng, who plays for the Arizona State Sun Devils, has been named the post-season Pac-12 Freshman of the Year.

Ng has made an immediate impact on the program, starting and appearing in every game for the Arizona State University’s Sun Devils this season.

The former McMath soccer and basketball star scored a hat trick in her collegiate debut against St. Bonaventure, which was just one of three hat tricks she had on the season.

Ng leads all freshmen in the Pac-12 conference – which operates in the Western United States, participating in 24 sports at the NCAA Division I level - in goals with 27, which is 15 more than the next closest freshman.

Her coach, Taryn VanThof, said it is “great to have Teagan be recognized as the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year as she has faced many top matchups throughout the regular season while playing a major role in our offense.

“Teagan is humble and hungry and she's just getting started as a Sun Devil.”
