July 14, 1999

Recent Lafayette graduate Karen Schoch has been named to the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association's Division I Academic Squad for her academic and athletic endeavors in the spring semester of 1999.

This isn't the first academic laurel to be bestowed upon Schoch, who completed her undergraduate matriculation in May with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. The defender claimed spots on USWLA Academic Squad, USFHA Division I Academic Squad, NFHCA National Academic Squad, as well as being a four year member of the Patriot League Honor Roll and a Dean's List student. Schoch graduated with a 3.66 overall grade point average, and finished strong with a 3.81 in her last semester.

On the lacrosse field, Schoch started all 16 games she played in last season, finding the net five times, while dishing out two assists, for seven points. She finished her career with 26 points, including 14 goals and 12 assists.

The academic all-star also excelled in field hockey, starting 14 of the 15 matches she appeared in her senior year, heading up a defense that allowed only 1.55 goals per contest.
