GRAND LAKE, Colo. – Delaware women's lacrosse placed five student-athletes on the IWLCA Academic Honor Roll while the team earned Academic Honor Squad recognition, as announced by the organization Wednesday.
Graduated seniors Coley Ricci (Garnet Valley, Pa./Garnet Valley) and Jamie Schwartz (Ellicott City, Md./Mt. Hebron) joined rising seniors Sarah Ashwood (Manchester, Md./Hereford), Becky Gohsler (Mendham, N.J./West Morris Mendham) and Sara Laudermilch (Exton, Pa./Henderson) in being acknowledged for their work in the classroom during the 2016-17 campaign.
Schwartz was named to the honor roll for the second time in her career while Ashwood, Gohsler, Laudermilch and Ricci earned the accolades for the first time.
"Delaware continues to attract talented, hardworking committed student-athletes with diverse academic interests," stated head coach Kateri Linville. "It is nice to see our team honored for their pursuit of academic excellence after achieving a program best team GPA (3.425) and to have several of our upperclassmen receive recognition for their performance in each of their majors of interest including chemical engineering, communications, education, exercise science and nursing."
Student-athletes who had a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or greater and have obtained at least junior standing academically received the honors.
The Hens were tabbed an Academic Honor Squad for the fifth straight season and were one of 97 Division I programs that registered a team GPA of 3.0 or higher last year.
