Northwestern lacrosse player Hilary Bowen and Denison swimmer Kristen Hohl were chosen as the College Sports Information Directors of America’s Academic All-Americans of the Year for women’s at-large teams.

The at-large classification includes bowling, rowing, fencing, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, skiing, tennis and water polo.

It is the second straight year Bowen, a human developmental and psychological services major, has been an at-large first-team selection. She also was a two-time academic all-Big Ten honoree.

As a four-year starter for Northwestern’s lacrosse squad, she helped the Wildcats capture four straight NCAA national championships and has twice earned honors as the NCAA tournament’s most outstanding player. She compiled an 85-3 career record, including this season’s perfect 23-0 mark. Bowen set the school’s single-season scoring mark with 81 goals in 2008 and ended her career third on the Wildcats’ all-time scoring list with 219 goals.

Hohl is a three-time Academic All-American. The biology major also received an NCAA postgraduate scholarship and is a member of Phi Beta Kappa.

The 22-time all-American was part of three NCAA national championship relay teams at the 2009 Division III Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships, where she led Denison to a third-place finish. She helped Denison establish Division III records in the 200-meter and 400-meter medley relays and led the Big Red to back-to-back North Coast Athletic Conference team championships. She also has 11 individual conference titles and six school records to her credit.
