BETHLEHEM, Pa. – The Lehigh men’s lacrosse team has once again been recognized by the USILA for academic success. Fifth-years Teddy Leggett and James Spence along with senior Tommy Schelling were named USILA Scholar All-Americans, while the Mountain Hawks received the USILA Academic Team Award.
The individual honors for Leggett, Spence and Schelling give Lehigh 21 USILA Scholar All-Americans dating back to 2002, eight in the last three seasons and 18 since 2010. A Scholar All-American must be nominated by his coach and be a student with a senior year academic standing and a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (4.0 scale). He will have behaved in a manner that has brought credit to himself, his institution, and to college lacrosse both on and off the field. He must also be an All-American, a member of a North/South team, or an outstanding league or conference player.
