In the first season of the Tim McCormack era, the Arizona State Lacrosse team showed significant signs of progress, giving Sun Devil fans a lot to be excited about with the future of the program trending in the right direction. Despite an abbreviated first season at the helm of the Sun Devil Lacrosse program, McCormack's team began building the winning culture that he is attempting to establish in Tempe. The new coaching staff installed a high-powered offense relying on a balanced attack that featured multiple scoring threats, helping Arizona State get off to a 5-3 start before the season was cut short. The season highlights included road victories over UC Davis and Detroit, followed by a 3-0 start at home with wins over Marquette, Fresno State, and California. Fans got a glimpse of the fast-paced, up-tempo style that Coach McCormack wants his program to be known for. Goalkeeper Berkeley Bonneau thrived under the tutelage of McCormack, the former All-American goalkeeper at UMass, earning one of only five Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week honors handed out in 2020. She was one of three Sun Devils to win a Pac-12 Player of the Week honor in the five weeks of the award, joined by attackers Kerri Clayton and Emily Glagolev, who each won Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week. The offense saw a considerable jump in production compared to last season, thriving under the direction of the new coaching staff. Through eight games, Arizona State scored at least 18 goals four different times, a feat they accomplished only twice last season. The Sun Devils were the highest scoring offense in the Pac-12 conference and the 12th-best in the country, averaging 16.38 goals/game. As a result of a balanced attack that featured multiple dangerous scoring options, the Maroon & Gold averaged the third-most assist/game in the country (9.5). In a historic victory over Detroit in only his second game as Head Coach, McCormack's Sun Devils scored 24 goals with 13 different goal scored, both representing new program records. Additionally, the 18-goal margin of victory (24-6) matched a program-high. The coaching staff managed to utilize the skill sets of several standout individuals perfectly, as Kerri Clayton and Emily Glagolev excelled in the new system. Clayton was unstoppable during the eight-game run, racking up 41 points (29 goals & 12 assists). She recorded a hat trick in each of her first seven games, proving why she was considered one of the most dangerous offensive threats in the country. Glagolev was the main facilitator, operating the offense at a high level. She dished out an incredible 24 assists in only eight games, the third-best mark in the country. She added 13 goals to give her 37 points, one of two Sun Devils to rank in the Top-20 nationally (19th) along with teammate Kerri Clayton (14th). Goalkeeper Berkeley Bonneau and the Sun Devil defense were beginning to hit their stride before the abrupt end to the 2020 season. Bonneau ended her year with double digit saves in four of her last five games, making 59 saves over her last five games (11.8 saves/game)/ She was starting to master the freedom that Coach McCormack allowed her to play with, collecting a team-high 35 ground balls and causing six turnovers, remaining active outside of her net. Her 4.38 ground balls per game were the fifth-highest average in the country. The draw control unit was another aspect of the game that was coming together under the new coaching staff, with several Sun Devils getting involved. Maura Cissel matched the program record for draw controls in a game, securing 11 in the victory over Detroit. She was one of three individuals with 20 or more draw controls, with midfielder Kaylon Buckner (26) and Emily Glagolev (20) playing a major role in earning possession. Sun Devil Lacrosse continues to add to an already talented roster, bringing in a highly-touted recruiting class with several instant impact players.
