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 Alexandra Kallgren '18 of Dudley, who majors in Sport & Leisure Management.

Kallgren, captain of the field hockey team, was named to the All-LEC team for the fourth consecutive year. The senior forward had a career year, becoming the program's all-time leader in goals, points and game-winning goals. She becomes only the third Eastern player ever to be a four-time selection, following Laura Chicorka (2012-15) and E-Club Hall of Famer Mo Deegan (2001-04)

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.

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.
