WALTHAM, Mass. – Seven players from the Bentley women's lacrosse team earned spots on the IWLCA Zag Sports Academic Honor Roll for the 2016 season. To qualify for selection, a student-athlete needed to have a grade point average of 3.5 or greater. As a team, the Falcons also qualified as an IWLCA Academic Squad with a combined team GPA of 3.0 or better for the 2015-16 academic year.

The seven Falcons to qualify for the Academic Honor Roll were seniors Meredith Hart (Fairport, N.Y./Fairport), Kelsey Howard (Scarborough, Maine/Scarborough) and Erin O'Connor (Longmeadow, Mass./Longmeadow) and juniors Taylor Lunden (Agawam, Mass./Agawam), Ciara Morley (Irvington, N.Y./Irvington), Tori Rotermund (Madison, Conn./Daniel Hand) and Ellie Shuman (Nashua, N.H./Nashua North).

All seven helped Bentley to a record breaking 2016 season that saw the team go on an 11 game winning streak, make the Northeast-10 Semifinals after beating Stonehill in the quarterfinals, and finish the season ranked No. 14 in the IWLCA Division II poll.

The IWLCA Honor Roll is the 4^th recognition of the postseason for Hart and Howard, who both graduated in May. They were previously named Northeast-10 All-Conference, IWLCA All-North Region and NE-10 All-Academic.

Bentley finished the season 13-6 overall.
