GREENSBORO, N.C. ? Duke University junior Carolyn Davis was named Women's Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the Year and eight other Blue Devils received honors as the Atlantic Coast Conference today announced its 2008 All-ACC Academic team.
Davis, a psychology major, has garnered accolades on both the academic and athletic fronts throughout her career, now a two-time ACC All-Academic team selection while earning first-team All-America honors from Womenslax.com, IWLCA/U.S. Lacrosse and Inside Lacrosse.
Davis previously earned a spot on the 2008 NCAA All-Tournament team for her play as Duke advanced to the national semifinals against the University of Pennsylvania in May. Davis scored five of Duke's eight goals in the overtime loss to the Quakers. The Skaneateles, N.Y., native was cleared to play just a week before the season began, after rehabilitating a torn ACL following the 2007 campaign. The attacker led the Blue Devils with 61 goals, 76 points, and 129 shots. She concluded the season fourth in the Duke record book for goals in a season and seventh for points, ranking ninth in Division I for active career goal leaders (not including the NCAA class of 2008).
Joining Davis on the All-ACC Academic team from Duke are seniors Aiyana Newton, Allie Johnson, and Jess Adam; juniors Kim Imbesi and Megan Del Monte; sophomore Danielle Kachulis; and freshmen Emma Hamm and Sarah Bullard.
Imbesi, Johnson, and Newton, along with Davis, are repeat honorees.
Twelve players who earned All-Conference honors this past season secured spots on the 2008 All-ACC Academic Women's Lacrosse team. To be eligible for consideration, a student-athlete must have earned a 3.00 grade point average for the previous semester and maintained a 3.00 cumulative average during her academic career.
Duke saw the most representatives in the conference with nine, while Maryland and North Carolina followed with six apiece. Virginia and Virginia Tech each had four, and rounding out the 32-member team with three selections was Boston College.
