HAVERFORD, Pa. – Haverford College women's lacrosse standout seniors Tiffany Mikulis and Eva Baumann joined star junior Brooke Epstein on the 2025 Philadelphia Sports Information Directors Association (PhillySIDA) Academic All-Area Team, the organization announced Tuesday afternoon.
To be eligible for Academic All-Area honors, a student-athlete must be in at least their second year at the institution and hold a cumulative grade-point average of 3.30 or higher. The team is selected by the sports information offices of 30 colleges and universities in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. This year's team features 15 standout student-athletes. Senior midfielder Mikulis earns the distinction for the third straight season. She is joined by defender Baumann and attacker Epstein, both of whom are first-time Academic All-Area honorees.
Mikulis had another exceptional campaign, finishing as an All-American. She earned All-Centennial Conference first-team honors for the third consecutive season. The Hopkinton, Mass., native finished second on the team in goals (46) and points (57), reaching the 200-career point milestone during the Centennial Conference semifinal against Gettysburg. She now ranks sixth in program history in goals (170) and ninth in points (203). Mikulis also contributed 71 draw controls, 24 caused turnovers, and 39 ground balls, while posting nine multi-goal games and seven games with at least four points.
Baumann, a Brookline, Mass., native, also picked up IWLCA and USA Lacrosse All-America honors after she anchored a Haverford defense that ranked among the top five in the Centennial Conference. She caused 28 turnovers—fourth-most in the league—and tallied 38 ground balls. A consistent presence on the backline, Baumann had three or more ground balls in seven games and forced multiple turnovers in seven contests. She also added two goals on the year, including a key tally against fifth-ranked Gettysburg.
Epstein, a USA Lacrosse All-America selection from Hilsborough, N.C. led both Haverford and the Centennial Conference in goals (66) and finished first on the team in points (89), draw controls (88), and free-position goals (14). The junior attacker started all 21 games and became one of Division III's most prolific scorers, ranking 38th nationally in goals and 48th in points. Epstein broke Haverford's single-game (13) and single-season (98) draw control records, and surpassed 200 career points, 100 goals, and 100 draw controls this season. She posted 16 games with three or more goals and notched eight points in two different contests.
The trio joins a talented group that includes 2025 Performer of the Year Anna Brandt of Penn and her All-America teammate Natasha Gorriaran. Brandt is one of three players off the list who were also honored in 2023 and 2024. Jenika Cuocco of Drexel joined Mikulis with a third honor. Molly Green from Rowan was honored in 2024, and Lindsey Fagan from Neumann was on the list in 2023. West Chester's Keri Barnett, the NCAA Division II Midfielder of the Year, makes her first appearance on the list after scoring 115 goals for the Rams in 2025. Additional honorees include Calista Burke and Kate Montenero of Rowan, Allison Drake of Drexel, Jorden Concordia and Bella Miceli of Saint Joseph's, Land Holy Family's Tori Wolstenholme.
