LOS ANGELES - Kat Regan, Shannon Craig and Chris Erhart were all honored Thursday, earning selection to the 2012 West Coast Conference Women's Rowing All-Academic Team. To be considered, a student-athlete must maintain at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average, while also being a significant contributor to her team.

Regan, a senior civil engineering major, was one of 10 rowers named to the All-Academic Team while Craig, a senior natural science major, and Erhart, a graduate student earning her MBA, were named to the honorable mention team.

Craig and Erhart serve as co-captains for the 2011-12 Lion squad while all three compete in LMU's varsity eight boat.

The Lions travel to Lake Natoma in Gold River, Calif., this weekend to compete in the 2012 WCC Championship.
