CHAPEL HILL -- University of North Carolina senior defender Jazmine Norton has been named a second-team All-America by the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association and US Lacrosse, it was announced on Tuesday afternoon. Norton's honor comes on the heels of being named first-team All-South region last week.
