Complete United Soccer Coaches Release
 
BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Continuing its stellar success in the classroom, the Lehigh women's soccer team has garnered a United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award for the 15th time in the last 16 years. The award is for the 2017-18 academic year as the Mountain Hawks posted a 3.56 team GPA, tops among all Lehigh Athletics squads.

The award continues a long list of academic honors for the Mountain Hawks.

Stratton also received her team's third straight Scholar-Athlete of the Year award at the annual end-of-year banquet. Following the season, a school-record 23 Mountain Hawks were named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll.
