Senior goalkeeper Doug Gouchoe was announced to the United States Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association's 2016 Division I Scholar All-American team on, June 11.
Gouchoe, a Biology major, graduated June 2, and will pursue a doctorate from Thomas Jefferson Medical School in Philadelphia, Pa. The Concord, Mass., native and Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Year, helped lead the Falcons to a 15-3 overall record with a perfect mark in league action this season
In 1989 the USILA Scholar All-America Program was established to recognize student-athletes from USILA member institutions who have distinguished themselves academically, athletically and as citizens of their communities. The USILA Selection Committee selects an overall team representing Division I, II and III. Gouchoe's selection marks the Falcons' third scholar All-America honor; Time Hade (2005) and Erik Smith (2014) were the only Falcons to earn the honors prior to this season.
A scholar All-American must be nominated by his coach and be a student with a senior year academic standing and a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 (4.0 scale). He will have behaved in a manner that has brought credit to himself, his institution, and to college lacrosse both on and off the field. He must also be an All-American, a member of a North/South team, or an outstanding league or conference player.
