SAN FRANCISCO — University of Colorado senior Eliza Cahill has been named the 2021 Pac-12 Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

The native of The Woodlands, Texas, was a member of the Pac-12 Academic Teams and Honor Roll the last couple of years. She was named to the AD's Honor Roll seven times and was a member of the Dean's List six times. She also received the Bryon R.
