ITHACA, N.Y. – The Liberty League released its yearly awards for the women’s lacrosse season on May 6 and five members from Ithaca College for a spot on one of the three teams.

Ithaca, which is now 13-6 on the season and fresh off its second straight Liberty League title, will continue its season this weekend in the NCAA Division III Championship as the Bombers take on Oswego Saturday in Middlebury, Vt.

First Team

Lily Cody earns her second career postseason honor as she was a second team performer last year. Cody leads Ithaca in goals (52), points (73), free position goals (16) and draw controls (98). She is also third in assists (21), fifth in caused turnovers (16) and sixth in ground balls (26). Within the Liberty League, Cody was third in points, fourth in draws and fifth in goals.

Elizabeth Green secured her first career postseason award from the Liberty League after a breakout senior campaign. Heading into this season, Green had 38 goals and 32 ground balls to her credit. Just this season long, Green totaled 46 goals and eight assists for 54 points with 40 ground balls, 24 draws and 16 caused turnovers.

Kaitlyn Russell picked up her third All-Liberty League selection as she was second team in 2023 and honorable mention in 2024. An anchor on the defensive unit, Russell has tallied 35 ground balls and 23 caused turnovers.

Second Team

In her second season with the program, Kelly Augeri has solidified herself as one of the top scorers in the Liberty League. Augeri is second on IC’s squad with 51, to go along with 16 assists for 67 points. She also has scooped up 26 ground balls. Augeri was also just named the Liberty League Championship Most Outstanding Performer as she scored 13 goals over three games.

Third Team

Maggie Mandel wraps up her five years on South Hill with her second career postseason selection by the Liberty League, as she was a second team honoree in 2024. Another defensive menace on the backline for the Bombers, Mandel has notched 28 ground balls with 12 caused turnovers. She has played in 85 games during her career with 79 consecutive starts.

 

All-time great gymnast Simone Biles and Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens are one of the sports world’s most-prominent power couples.

On Wednesday — just one day after the couple took the red carpet for the 2025 Met Gala — Biles and Owens celebrated their second wedding anniversary.

Biles and Owens began dating in March 2020 and got married at a Houston courthouse in April 2023. They celebrated their marriage with a bigger wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico a few weeks later.

Biles took to social media to announce this milestone with a special post.

“2 year anniversary. ilysfm,” Biles wrote as the caption to a pre-Met Gala photo with Owens.

Biles described Tuesday night’s Met Gala as a pre-anniversary “date night” for her and Owens.

“Oh my gosh, I am really excited,” Biles said in a recent interview. “Obviously no training goes into the Met, so I’m happy about that.

“It’s really just getting in fitting, seeing what you’re going to wear, and then going from there. … It will be tailored, it will be a custom dress, I’m going back and forth between two right now. Both custom looks for me, so I’m excited.”

“It is date night it’ll be the day before our wedding, second wedding anniversary as well,” Biles continued. “So it’ll be really exciting to celebrate at the Met with him.”

Owens is heading into his second season with the Bears after appearing in 17 games and making five starts for the team in 2024. Biles was frequently in attendance for her husband’s games last year, and that trend is expected to continue in 2025.

Biles added to her all-time great Olympic resume this past summer, notching four new Olympic medals. The 28-year-old gymnast won gold in the all-around, vault and team events, and silver in the floor exercise.
