PHILADELPHIA, Pa.- The Philadelphia Area Sports Information Directors Association (PhillySIDA) announced their 2025 All-Area Academic Lacrosse Team on Tuesday afternoon. Immaculata's David Azzarano (Wayne, Pa. / Radnor) was one of 13 student-athletes from 10 different schools named to the team. 

The team is selected through nominations and voting by the sports information offices from 30 institutions in the Philadelphia Metropolitan Area. To be eligible for Academic All-Area honors, athletes must be at least in their second year with their program and have a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 or better. 

Azzarano had an outstanding season being named 2025 Atlantic East Conference Player of the Year, and First Team All-Atlantic East Conference. Azzarano led the Atlantic East Conference in scoring, setting single-season program records for points in a season (97) and assists in a season (52), while scoring a career-high 45 goals. Azzarano became Immaculata's all-time career leading scorer with a goal in Immaculata's game at Drew University on March 15th. He helped lead Immaculata to their first Atlantic East Conference Championship and appearance in the NCAA Tournament. Azzarano tied program records for assists in a single game with eight, and points in a single game with 11 in Immaculata's AEC Semifinal win over Gwynedd Mercy on April 26th. He had one goal and three assists in the AEC Championship game vs Marymount, and two goals and an assist in their NCAA Tournament game at Scranton. 

Azzarano concludes his Immaculata career with 144 goals, 147 assists, and 291 points in 72 games played, including 67 starts, averaging 4.04 points per game. Azzarano participated in the 2025 USILA North vs South Senior All-Star Game for the North Team on May 23 in Bristol, RI.
