TEMPE, Ariz. – For the second consecutive season, multiple Sun Devil Lacrosse student-athletes earned a spot on the Zag Sports Division I Academic Honor Roll, the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association announced on Wednesday.
Despite being a new program in only its second year in existence making most of their roster ineligible for the Honor Roll, four members of the Sun Devil Lacrosse program still managed to be selected for the national academic honor.
Senior Rachel Gregory finds herself on the honor roll for the second straight season, joining a trio of junior teammates. Attacker Carley Adams, midfielder Mia Harp, and goalkeeper Campbell Poe also were recognized for their hard work in the classroom. The IWLCA honored 501 student-athletes from 99 different institutions on the 2019 IWLCA Zag Sports Division I Academic Honor Roll. To be eligible for this honor, student-athletes must be a junior, senior, or graduate student and have earned a cumulative academic GPA of 3.50 or greater.
Coming off receiving Pac-12 All-Academic Honorable Mention distinction in May, Carley Adams adds yet another award thanks to her commitment to excellence off the field. On the field, the attacker played in 16 games this season, starting twice. She contributed five goals, while also collecting eight ground balls and causing two turnovers. Adams enjoyed her best performance of the year in the Sun Devils' victory over Presbyterian, scoring a pair of goals to help lead the way offensively.
Juniors Campbell Poe and Mia Harp join their teammates on the prestigious Honor Roll. Harp made her Sun Devil debut this season, playing in five games after sitting out all of last season due to injury. She got into the scoring column against Stetson, dishing out her first collegiate assist in the 11-3 victory. Poe saw action between the pipes in ASU's road matchup with No. 16 USC. Despite being put in late in the game, she was clearly eady to play, making a save and preventing the Trojans from scoring over the final two minutes.
