Eastern Student-Athlete Maggie Bodington Wins Spring LEC Award

2018 Apr 25

Fourteen student athletes from Eastern Connecticut State University received Little East Conference (LEC) awards in late March and April. The students represent six different teams and included three repeat winners.

Among the awardees is Maggie Bodington '18 of Stratford, who majors in Communication. Bodington was selected as the LEC women's lacrosse Defensive Player-of-the-Week for the week of April 22. The senior midfielder ranks among the all-time Top 10 women's lacrosse players at Eastern with 170 draw controls, and is the team leader this season with 65, third in the LEC. Bodington is now only three ground balls away from reaching 100 for her career.

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.
