NORTHBOROUGH, Mass. – For the sixth time in program history, East Carolina has been named an Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Honor Squad, the organization announced Wednesday. Additionally, 11 members of East Carolina's 2024 lacrosse team have been named to the IWLCA Academic Honor Roll for Division I.
Â
The Pirates are one of 324Â teams across all divisions to earn this distinction and have still done so in every single season in the program's history (the award was not given in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). To qualify for this prestigious honor, the women's lacrosse team must have posted a 3.2 or higher team GPA for the academic year.
Â
Individually, juniors Erin Gulden, Caroline Meininger and Izzi Seven; seniors Regina Di Chiara, Courtney Frank, Alexandra Giacolone, Carli Johnston, Summer Morrison, Madeleine Saucier and Emily Stratton; and graduate student Frances Kimel all earned the recognition for their efforts in the classroom. To be eligible for the Honor Roll, student-athletes must be a junior, senior, or graduate student and have earned a cumulative academic GPA of 3.50 or greater.
The IWLCA honored 1,163 student-athletes from 113 different institutions on the 2024 IWLCA Division I Academic Honor Roll.
