Four SOL student-athletes were recognized as United States Lacrosse Academic All-Americans – Central Bucks South seniors Sarah Poli and Courtney Dietzel, Plymouth Whitemarsh senior Monica Dresnin and Abington junior Casey McCallister.
USL Academic All-Americans were recognized for their performance in the classroom and on the field. Players must be a junior or senior and boast a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.7. Consideration also is given to accomplishments on the lacrosse field.
Sarah Poli is two-time USL Academic All-American and a three-time first team All-SOL National Conference selection. She was a three-time team co-MVP after earning offensive MVP recognition as a freshman. Poli contributed 26 goals, 21 assists, 32 draw controls and 17 caused turnovers this spring before seeing her season come to an end April 21 when she went down with a torn ACL. The senior captain - who closed her career with 228 draw controls and 103 caused turnovers – will continue her lacrosse career at Drexel University.

Dietzel – who closed out her career with 260 draw controls and 131 caused turnovers – will take her talents to Drexel University.
Plymouth Whitemarsh senior Monica Dresnin earned first team All-SOL American Conference recognition and was named MVP of the conference.
