Hope Shue of the Middlebury women's lacrosse team was selected as a College Sports Communicators (CSC) At-Large/College Division Academic All-America Team Member of the Year. The senior was one of nine NESCAC athletes to land a spot on the CSC Academic All-America At-Large Team. The Division III At-Large category is extraordinarily competitive as 10 sports vie for just 45 spots over three squads.
The CSC Academic All-America honor recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined athletic and academic achievements. To be nominated, student-athletes must be a significant contributor to the team with at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) at her current institution. A limit of six nominations per school is set. For field hockey and lacrosse players, nominees must have competed in 90 percent of the team's total games played or have started 66 percent of the team's total games. For rowing, nominees must have competed in a minimum of four competitions or as a member of an NCAA boat (1V8, 2V8, 1V4) at a conference championship.
Student-athletes from the following sports are eligible - Women's Beach Volleyball, Women's Bowling, Women's Fencing, Women's Field Hockey, Women's Golf, Women's Gymnastics, Women's Ice Hockey, Women's Lacrosse, Women's Rifle, Women's Rowing, Women's Skiing and Women's Water Polo.
Shue is a CSC Academic All-American (First Team) for the third-straight year after graduating with 4.00 GPA and a degree in neuroscience. The attacker secured multiple national and conference honors, headlined by her second Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) National Player and Attacker of the Year award. She was named the NCAA Tournament's Most Outstanding Player and NESCAC Offensive Player of the Year.
Shue, who earned IWCLA All-American and All-Region First-Team honors alongside NESCAC First Team distinction, led the conference with 86 goals and 119 points, which were single-season program records. The attacker surpassed Middlebury Hall of Famer Amy DiAdamo '97 in career goals (309) and points (391) and concluded her career as the Division III all-time leader in goals during NCAA tournament games with 80.
In the classroom, Shue was named the NCAA Elite 90 Award recipient for the third-straight campaign, becoming the first Division III women's lacrosse player to achieve the feat. She joined former North Dakota State and Super Bowl champion Carson Wentz as the only two people to garner the award three times while also securing four NCAA Championships. The Panther garnered the Hazeltine-Klevenow Memorial Trophy. The Middlebury Athletic Senior Award is given out based on leadership ability, high academic standing, athletic prowess and involvement in college activities.
Off the field, Shue volunteered at "Everybody Wins! VT", was a member of MiddCAM and MiddCORE, served as a two-year leader of Middlebury's Radical Health program and helped organize Community Suppers. She also participated in Middlebury's Special Olympics programs, worked as an ADA Special Assistant, a MiddCORE Intern and a daycare teacher.
