Â
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Lehigh women's lacrosse team was recently recognized for continued excellence in the classroom as the Mountain Hawks were named an IWLCA/Zag Sports Division I Academic Squad and four individuals were named to the Academic Honor Roll. To earn the team award, squads must post a team GPA of 3.0 or higher during the 2014-15 academic year, a mark the Mountain Hawks easily eclipsed.
Â
In total, more than 85 Division I schools received the team distinction while 265 Division I student-athletes were named to the honor roll. To earn the individual award, student-athletes must be at least a junior with a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher. Lehigh's honorees were seniors Kelly Scott, Carli Sukonik and Lauren Willcox, along with junior Hannah Street.
Â
These latest awards continue a long string of success in the classroom. In the spring, Sukonik and Willcox were both named to the Academic All-Patriot League Team for a second straight season while Lehigh placed 15 members on the league's Academic Honor Roll.
Â
The Mountain Hawks wrapped up a strong 2015 season highlighted by a seven-game road winning streak, a road win against Rutgers in front of a nationally-televised audience and the team's second straight postseason appearance. Lehigh's defense was especially strong as the Mountain Hawks finished the season 9-8 and earned the #5 seed in the Patriot League Tournament.
