Update: going along with the lax awards, freshman shortstop Derek Vigoa was named the Big 5 Baseball Rookie of the Year today.

1) It's postseason awards time for women's lacrosse, and Penn has done well so far. The Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Associatoin revealed their All-America and All-Region teams last week, and Penn had two first team All-Americans, juniors Emma Spiro and Ali DeLuca. In addition, junior Courtney Lubbe and senior Becca Edwards were named to the first and second Mid-Atlantic Region teams, respectively. Ironically, Penn had one more first team All-American than national champion Northwestern.

2) Of course, that one selection for Northwestern was Hannah Nielsen, quite possibly the best player ever. She solidified herself as one of the game's greats with her second-straight Tewaaraton Trophy.

3) With spring sports almost all but over (rowing is still going), it's never too early to look towards football season (only 110 days left till the opener versus Villanova!). But before looking ahead, The Harvard Crimson looks back on last year's Ivy Champion.

4) Here are some other recaps of the past year in Ivy League sports (sorry some of these are old): The Brown Daily Herald has a standard review; The Daily Princetonian names a female and male Athlete of the Year; The Columbia Spectator sports page has an article on each team as well as senior writer columns; The Cornell Daily Sun picks the top 25 senior athletes, naming quarterback and third baseman Nathan Ford the Cornell Player of the Year.
