Swimming Lands Ten on CSCAA Scholar All-America Teams
PHOENIX, Ariz. (Jul. 15, 2014) - On Monday, ten members of the LIU Post women's swimming team were dubbed CSCAA Scholar All-Americans. In all, the Pioneers had a nation-best eight first-team choices and two honorable mention picks.
To qualify for CSCAA Scholar All-America recognition, a student-athlete must achieve a grade-point average of 3.5 or better, in addition to qualifying and competing at the NCAA Division II Swimming and Diving Championships.

The eight first-team honorees were senior
Tamara Garriock (Duncan, British Columbia, Canada), juniors
Courtney Delehanty (Oceanport, N.J.),
Johanna Pettersson (Kungalv, Sweden) and
Carolin Rademacher (Isernhagen, Germany), and sophomores
Marthe Soerensen (Stavanger, Norway),
Joyce Kwok (Middle Village, N.Y.),
Seren Jones (Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom) and
Meghan Brazier (West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada).
Additionally, the duo of juniors
Malin Hedberg (Vasteras, Sweden) and
Angelica Norrena (Solna, Sweden) garnered honorable mention accolades for the second year in a row.
