Dover, Del. (July 16, 2021) --- Members of the Delaware State women's lacrosse team have earned a total of 29 Southern Conference honors for their work in the classroom this year.
 
Nineteen Hornets are recognized on the Southern Conference 2020-21 Honor Roll, while DSU received a total of 10 SoCon Commissioner's academic medals.

The Southern Conference this week released its academic honor roll for the 2020-21 academic year this week, with a league-record 2,740 student-athletes from the 10 member institutions and 16 associate members earning the distinction.
 
"Congratulations to our honor roll recipients," SoCon Commissioner Jim Schaus said. "These student-athletes truly understand that the student part comes first. Special thanks goes to coaches, academic staffs and faculty who have supported these student-athletes in their scholastic success."
 
The academic honor roll originated in 1988-89, when SoCon athletic directors established the award as a way to recognize the league's outstanding student-athletes. The academic honor roll consists of student-athletes who participated in varsity sports and posted a 3.0 grade point average or higher for the academic year, were eligible the entire academic year and were members of the final squad lists. The award is different from the academic all-conference award, announced Wednesday, which is determined by cumulative GPA and involves a participation requirement.
