Women’s Lacrosse: Tigue Named All-Region
Swarthmore, PA - Swarthmore College women's lacrosse player Cara Tigue (East Longmeadow, MA / East Longmeadow) was one of 212 student-athletes named to the 2006 Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA)/US Lacrosse All-Regional team. Tigue was a second team selection in the Metro region.
Tigue, a senior defender, scooped up 41 ground balls and caused 18 turnovers while drawing the opposition's top offensive threat on many occasions. In 61 games over four years, she collected 162 ground balls for an average of 2.66 per game and was named First Team All-Centennial at the end of the season.
A biology major and three-time selection for the Centennial Conference Academic Honor Roll, Tigue made the All-Centennial team for the third time in her career. She was named to the second team in 2005 and was honorable mention in 2004.
Tigue is the 13th Swarthmore woman to earn All-Region honors, and the seventh to be placed on the second team, the first since 2002 when Katie Tarr '02 earned a fourth consecutive All-Region selection.
Swarthmore (14-5 overall, 5-4 Centennial) put together its best season ever in 2006; the Garnet won the Seven Sisters Lacrosse Championship, broke the school record for wins, and earned the first Centennial playoff berth in program history.
