IWLCA Honor Squads

GRAND LAKE, Colo.
- Temple lacrosse is one of 84 Division I teams to be recognized as an Academic Squad by the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA). The Owls have now earned Academic Squad distinction for the eighth straight year. 


The IWLCA recognized 84 teams for the 2013-14 school year for having a team GPA of 3.0 or higher. 

Individual student-athletes will also be recognized in the coming days with mention on the IWLCA Academic Honor Roll. One of those honorees will be Jaqi Kakalecik, who was recently honored at Temple's annual Breakfast of Champions as a member of the Trustee Ten. That honor goes to the 10 student-athletes who have the highest GPA's in the entire department. Kakalecik was recognized among the group for her 3.9 GPA as a biochemistry major.

The Breakfast of Champions, held this year on May 6, included grades only up through the fall semester.

Along with Kakaleick, 10 other members of the team were named to the President's Honor Roll for having a GPA of 3.5 or above (freshmen are not eligible). Those honorees were: Lea Britton, Kirstie Connor, Nina Falcone, Rachel Hall, Bridget Hufnagel, Brenda McDermott, Maddie McTigue, Megan Pinkerton, Kathryn Skahan and Nicole Tiernan.

Thirteen additional members of the team were named to the Director's Honor Roll for having a GPA between a 3.0 and 3.49: Carly Demato, Carli Fitzgerald, Anna Frederick, Krissy Gallivan, Macie Hauck, Summer Jaros, Avery Longstaff, Kari Longstaff, Rachel Schwaab, Molly Seefried, Kelly Syphard, Gabby Szczepanek and Megan Tiernan.
