Eastern Student-Athlete Abigail Stern Named to LEC All-Conference Team

2017 Nov 9

Three student-athletes from Eastern Connecticut State University were named to Little East Conference (LEC) all-conference teams due to their strong performances in the fall 2017 season.

Among them is Abigail Stern '21 of Manchester, who majors in Pre-Elementary Education and Liberal Studies.

Stern, who just finished her first season with the volleyball team, also had an outstanding season. The freshman outside hitter was named LEC Rookie-of-the-Week four out of the nine weeks in the season, while leading the Warriors as one of the team's top offensive and defensive weapons. She was the runaway winner of the team's Rookie-of-the-Year award, and is the first player in five years to receive an All-LEC selection.

The Little East Conference (LEC) was established in 1986 as a single-sport league by six public institutions throughout New England. The LEC has since become a multi-sport league with eight primary members, six affiliate members and 19 championships.

Eastern offers a broad-based, Division III athletic program aimed at safeguarding the amateur aspects of the various sports and maintaining the proper perspective of athletics within Eastern's academic mission. By placing emphasis on the values of equity, diversity, sportsmanship, health and wellbeing, Eastern's athletic program encourages students to contribute more effectively to our society and live richer, fuller lives.
