Three members of class of 2007 named academic All-Americans

By Greg O'Sullivan | June 22, 2007

Dartmouth student athletes are expected to excel both athletically and academically. In some cases their hard work on both fronts pays off, as shown by College Sports Information Directors of America's recent recognition of three Big Green athletes as Academic All-Americans. Nick Bonacci '07 of the men's lacrosse team was named to the first team, while Whitney Douthett '07 of the women's lacrosse team and Lindsay Mann '07 of the alpine ski team were both named to the second team. Bonacci was a three-year starter for the lacrosse team at attack and finished his senior season leading the team with 20 assists, and was third on the team in total scoring with 45 points.
