CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) -- The Mid-American Conference announced today, June 7, its 2023 Lacrosse Academic All-MAC selections with three members of the Eastern Michigan University program earning recognition for their academic and athletic success.

Student-athletes also must have completed at least one full year at their current institution to be eligible.
The list of honorees from Eastern include redshirt freshmen Tracy Grollman (Annapolis, Md.-Annapolis Area Christian School), Olivia Halverson (Hillsborough, N.J.-Hillsborough), and Avery Schwab (Dublin, Ohio-Dublin Scioto).

The academic honors earned by the trio are the first in program history.
Grollman appeared in all 16 games for Eastern this year and earned a place in the starting line-up 12 times. She finished third on the team in goals (19) and points (26), and was fourth in assists (7).
