Correll named to CoSIDA Women's At-Large Academic All-District second team
TOWSON, Md. - Salisbury University junior field hockey student-athlete Lauren Correll was named to the 2008-09 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Women's At-Large Teams, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Correll is one of three Capital Athletic Conference (CAC) student-athletes to garner such honors for the College Division - District 2. Correll was named to the second team.
The Bridgeville, Del., native is entering her senior year at SU where she is a physical education major with a 3.88 grade point average. Correll enjoyed success on the field for the seventh-ranked Sea Gulls last season as she started all 19 games. Correll led the team in points (38) and goals scored (18) and game-winning goals (four).
The forward was named a National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) All-American and All-Region performer the past two seasons. The two-time All-CAC first team performer has landed on the All-CAC Academic team the past two seasons plus the SU dean's list.
Correll has been a valuable part of the community through community outreach programs alongside her field hockey teammates. She has volunteered at Relay for Life, Sea Gull Century and helped to donate food in the annual Athletic Training Food Drive and been a mentor with local youth field hockey programs. In addition, she is part of several honor societies including Phi Kappa Phi, ODK, Phi Epsilon Kappa, the SU Athletics Honor Society and the Physical Education Society.
This is the third academic accolade Correll has received this spring as she was inducted into the prestigious Chi Alpha Sigma National College Athletic Honor Society-Zeta Chapter and SU's ODK chapter in May.
Last year, Salisbury University women's lacrosse student-athlete Sue Ackermann was named the 2007-08 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America of the Year for the College Division in the women's at-large field.
To be eligible, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director.
