Illinois Wesleyan University women's lacrosse senior Mia Fiandaca has been chosen to participate in the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) All-Star Game. The announcement was made by the organization on Wednesday, May 28.

The event is scheduled for Saturday, May 31, at Tierney Field near the IWLCA building at USA Lacrosse Headquarters in Sparks Glencoe, Maryland. The Division III game, featuring Fiandaca, will be the second of three games that day and is set to begin at 12:30 p.m. The day's events will start with the Division II game at 10 a.m., followed by the Division I game at 3 p.m.

Fiandaca concluded her college career as Illinois Wesleyan's first All-American honoree after being named an honorable mention by USA Lacrosse Magazine. She was also recognized as the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin Defensive Player of the Year. Throughout her career, she achieved several records within her program including best goals per game average (2.68), best caused turnovers per game average (2.32), and most woman-down goals (4). Additionally, she ranked second in draw controls (215) and caused turnovers (132), tied for second in woman-up goals (7), third in career goals (153), ground balls per game (2.42), and draw controls per game (3.77). She placed sixth in ground balls (138), seventh in points per game (2.84), and tied for seventh in points overall (166) and free-position goals (15).

Fiandaca continues a tradition as the fourth consecutive Titan selected for this honor, following Britney Maldonado in 2024, Jennie Hubbard in 2023, and Landry Elliott in 2022. She is notably the only student-athlete from CCIW chosen this year. Fiandaca will play on the White All-Stars team under coach Jackie Neary from Neumann College.
