BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh junior Grace Ioffe has been selected to the Academic All-Patriot League team for women's rowing, the league announced Thursday. Ioffe serves as the coxswain on Lehigh's first varsity eight boat and is one of the Mountain Hawks' top performers in the classroom.
Â
The Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Academic All-Patriot League teams are voted on by the league's sports information directors. To be eligible, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average and be a starter or key player in his/her sport. First-years or students in their first academic year at their school are not eligible for the honor.
Â
Ioffe was recognized as Lehigh rowing's Scholar-Athlete of the Year for 2025-26. A biology major from Greenwich, Conn., Ioffe holds a 3.80 cumulative GPA. Ioffe is a two-year member of the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll and has made Lehigh's Dean's List with a GPA better than 3.60 in each of her first five semesters, highlighted by a 4.0 semester in the fall 2025.

This spring, Ioffe was the coxswain for Lehigh's first varsity eight, including last week's Patriot League Championships, where the Mountain Hawks had three boats qualify for grand finals on the way to an eighth place finish.
