Recent Gettysburg College graduate and former women's lacrosse player Lindsay Menton was recently named the winner of a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.Menton received one of only 29 scholarships available to female student-athletes from the recent spring season. The NCAA awards up to 174 postgraduate scholarships annually, 87 for men and 87 for women. The scholarships are awarded to student-athletes who excel academically and athletically and who are in their final year of intercollegiate athletics competition.
The one-time grants of $7,500 each are awarded for fall sports, winter sports and spring sports. The scholarships are one-time, non-renewable grants.
Menton is the 10th Bullet to earn a postgrad scholarship and the first since men's lacrosse standout Timothy Kurpis in 2010. She is also the first Gettysburg women's lacrosse player to earn the award.
Menton was a major contributor during her four seasons with the lacrosse program, appearing in 83 contests with 67 starts. She was a versatile player on both sides of the field, logging 25 goals, 15 assists, 103 ground balls, 42 draw controls, and 48 caused turnovers.
This past spring was arguably Menton's best as she recorded a career-high 32 ground balls and tied a personal mark with 14 caused turnovers. She helped the Bullets claim their second consecutive Centennial Conference title and advance to the second round of the NCAA Division III Tournament. Menton served as a team captain and was tabbed to the conference's All-Sportsmanship Team.
