SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse is one of 51 schools to earn Academic Squad honors from the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) for the 2010 season. To be eligible for the honor, each school must have a team grade-point average of 3.0 or higher.
The Orange excelled in the classroom in 2009-10. Twenty-two members of the squad were named to the BIG EAST All-Academic Team, including 2010 graduates Jackie DePetris, Eileen Finn, and Christina Dove, who earned the honor for the fourth consecutive year. In addition, Dove was selected to the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America At-Large First Team.
Syracuse also enjoyed success on the field last season, finishing the season with a 15-7 record. The Orange earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament where it advanced to the Final Four for the second time in the last three years.
