No player in IUP lacrosse history made opposing goalkeepers more weak-kneed than Alexa Lodovici, the 2013 PSAC Player of the Year and a first-team All-American.
Lodovici, a relentless offensive threat at the attack position, ranks as the program’s leader in career points (292) and is third in goals (167) and assists (125). She led the Crimson Hawks in scoring in 2012 with 91 points and in 2013 with 101, the top two totals in IUP history.
A three-time All-PSAC selection, Lodovici was twice accorded all-region honors and in 2013 was named a first-team Synapse Sports All-American and a second-team Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association All-American. The native of Voorhees, N.J., earned a New Jersey Distinguished Athlete award for her performance. She concluded her career by participating in the IWLCA all-star game in Philadelphia.
Lodovici is tied for third in IUP history for points in a game, recording 11 in a 21-10 win against Millersville in 2012. She scored 10 or more points in a game four times during her career, a feat no other player in program history can match. Lodovici had a seven-goal outburst in an 18-10 win over Gannon in 2013.
The IUP program had produced only one winning season when Lodovici arrived on campus. The Crimson Hawks went 11-7 in her sophomore season and 11-6 a year later, when they qualified for the PSAC tournament for the first time.
Coach Mindy Richmond’s team again qualified for the conference tourney in Lodovici’s senior season, finishing 13-3 and establishing school records for wins and winning percentage (.813). No IUP team since has topped 13 victories.
A 2013 IUP grad with a degree in sports management, Lodovici works as a district sales manager for Boathouse Sports in Philadelphia. She resides in Voorhees.
Personal Reflection:
Being inducted into the IUP Athletics Hall of Fame is something I am very grateful for and excited about. It reflects the hard work and dedication of the IUP women’s lacrosse program.
I’ve made lifelong friendships with teammates and formed endless memories during my time at IUP. I wouldn’t have an achievement like this without the support of my family, friends and lacrosse alumni.
I’m very thankful for this honor and it’s a privilege to be forever a part of the IUP athletics family.
