Caroline Cochran Named to 2011 IWLCA Academic Honor Roll
Thursday, September 8, 2011 | Lacrosse
Senior attack Caroline Cochran (Annapolis, Md.) was named to the 2011 IWLCA Academic Honor Roll, honoring student-athletes for their work on the field and in the classroom. The Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association honored 427 student-athletes from 161 different institutions who excelled in the classroom and achieved at least junior status academically in 2011. Cochran, the Gators' lone senior and thus the only member of the team eligible to try for the award, finished in the top 3 on the team in GPA for the 2010-2011 academic year.
Cochran joined the Florida lacrosse team in its inaugural 2010 season after spending her freshman year at the University of Virginia. She has appeared in 37 games for UF, recording 31 goals and 15 points for a total of 48 career points. Additionally, she has nine career ground balls, two draw controls and two caused turnovers. The Annapolis native looks to be the first lacrosse player to graduate from the University of Florida, earning a degree in English in Spring 2012.
As a whole, the American Lacrosse Conference (ALC) put 12 student-athletes on the Honor Roll, with at least one coming from each of the six member institutions, out of the 176 Division I student-athletes who made the cut.
