STANFORD, Calif. -- Stanford seniors Anna Boeri and Catherine Swanson were honored for their work in the classroom by the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association. Each was named to the IWLCA Academic Honor Roll.

Both Boeri and Swanson just completed their senior seasons at Stanford, helping lead the Cardinal to the MPSF title game. Swanson tied the single-season Stanford record with draw control, notching 52, while Boeri was second on the team with 32 points.

The IWLCA honored 173 student-athletes from 56 different institutions with inclusion in the 2012 Academic Honor Roll. All student-athletes were nominated by their schools and have achieved at least junior status academically.

Leading the way was IWLCA Scholar-Athlete of the Year Melanie Baskind from Harvard University. Among the 171 student-athletes are 27 who were members of teams that advanced to the NCAA tournament, including two from national champion Northwestern and two from national runner-up Syracuse.

In addition to the individual awards, Stanford was one of the teams named to the IWLCA Academic Honor Roll. The Cardinal lacrosse team carried a combined GPA of 3.404.
