2012 grad Leitner named to IWLCA Academic Honor Roll

Former Penn goalkeeper Emily Leitner may have already graduated, but she's still racking up rewards.

The 2012 graduate and unanimous first-team All-Ivy selection was recently named to the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Academic Honor Roll for the 2011-12 year. She was one of two Quakers to earn to honor, along with attacker Lizzy Price.

It was not the first classroom-related award for Leitner, who was named Academic All-Ivy in 2011. Penn's starter for all 17 games in each of her last two seasons, the goalkeeper led the Red and Blue to a 20-14 record and two NCAA tournament appearances over that span. Over the summer, she tried out for the U.S. National team and made the final round of tryouts before missing the final cut.

Price, who appeared in five games and made one start as a junior in 2012, scored her first collegiate goal against Drexel last spring. She is not currently listed on Penn's 2012-13 roster.
