PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Former Syracuse field hockey player Leigh Fawcett was one of 21 individuals honored with the 2007-08 BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Award, which recognize academic and athletic achievement as well as community service.

The Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Awards are given to one student-athlete in each BIG EAST sport based on academic credentials, athletic accolades or performances and volunteer service to the community. Student-athletes who attained junior academic standing and a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 3.00 are eligible. The winners are chosen by the BIG EAST faculty athletic representatives.

During her one year at Syracuse, Fawcett earned BIG EAST Conference First-Team accolades and was also selected to the BIG EAST Championship All-Tournament Team. She was fifth in the nation and second in the BIG EAST in assists per game (.79) and holds the second-place spot on SU’s all-time single-season chart for assists.
