GRAND LAKE, Colo. – The Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association released its 2018 Zag Sports Academic Honor Roll and Honor Squads on Monday afternoon, with four Duquesne lacrosse players garnering honor roll recognition. In addition, the Dukes were named an IWLCA Academic Honor Squad as a team.

Senior Rachel Hughes (Unionville, Pa./Unionville) along with juniors Courtney Battles (Finksburg, Md./Westminster), Erin Conway (Basking Ridge, N.J./Ridge) and Sarah Kollhoff (Exton, Pa./Downington) each earned Honor Roll distinction for Duquesne.

To be eligible for the honor roll, student-athletes must be a junior, senior, or graduate student and have earned a cumulative academic GPA of 3.50 or greater.
