WORCESTER, Mass. --- Sixteen regional winners of the N.C.A.A. Division II Conference Commissioners Association Scholar-Athlete of the Year Award have been announced. A male and female Division II Scholar-Athlete of the Year will be selected from the 16 regional winners, eight men and eight women.

Assumption College women's lacrosse midfielder/captain JENNY MONGEAU '06 (Westboro, MA/Westboro) was selected as the New England region female winner.

The award, sponsored by DisneyÕs Wide World of Sports, provides the opportunity for Division II to highlight the extraordinary achievements of its student athletes. The commissioners from the regions that comprise the Division II basketball alignment selected the regional winners. To be nominated for consideration, a student-athlete must have attained a 3.0 career cumulative grade point average and possess outstanding athletic credentials.

Previously Mongeau was selected as the Northeast-10 Conference Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year, earned one of 58 postgraduate scholarships of $7,500 as sponsored by the N.C.A.A. and was named CoSIDA-ESPN The Magazine academic all-America honors.

She was graduated from the College summa cum laude in May with a 3.76 cumulative grade point average as one of rare group of triple majors, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics with a minor in Physics.

Mongeau is the fifth Assumption College student-athlete to earn conference scholar-athlete of the year since 2001.
