Women's lacrosse receives academic recognition

WASHINGTON – For the fourth consecutive year the CUA women’s lacrosse team has been honored as an IWLCA Academic Squad, it was recently announced.  In order to receive the honor teams must have a team grade point average of at least 3.0. 

The Cardinals were one of 64 Division III institutions nationwide to receive the honor, and one of only 13 schools to be named to the Academic Squad and also compete in the NCAA Tournament.
