ERIE, Pa. - The Gannon women’s swimming and diving team has earned NCAA Division II Team Scholar All-America honors for its performance in the classroom during the fall semester. The College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) made the announcement Friday afternoon.

Gannon was one of 28 NCAA Division II programs to receive the award. The Lady Knights ranked 24th nationally with a 3.12 cumulative team grade-point average during the Fall of 2009.

Head coach Nate Walter’s squad ranked 22nd nationally in the spring rankings. Divers Megan Beresford (Greensburg, Pa./Hempfield Area) and Diana Rocco (Cranberry Township, Pa./Seneca Valley), as well as swimmers Kaitlyn Bosy (Courtice, Ontario/Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary) and Ellie Hess (Lower Burrell, Pa./Burrell), were also named Scholar All-Americans by the CSCAA last spring.

Twelve Gannon female swimmers and divers were named Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Scholar-Athletes last season. In addition, Beresford was named to the 2009 ESPN The Magazine All-District II Women’s At-Large third team.

In the pool, Gannon finished 23rd at the 2009 NCAA Division II National Championships. Eleven student-athletes have already qualified for this year’s PSAC championships. The women’s 400-yard freestyle relay team of Rachel Rzymek (Erie, Pa./McDowell), Hess, Jackie Rzymek (Erie, Pa./McDowell) and Bosy has also already qualified for its second consecutive NCAA Division II National Championship appearance.
