MADISON, N.J. - Emily Blatter (Lexington, VA/Rockbridge County), a
senior attacker on Goucher's women's lacrosse team, was selected as
the 2008 Landmark Conference Senior Scholar-Athlete for her sport,
according to an announcement issued today by the conference.
A committee of Landmark Conference officers, athletic directors and
sports information directors chose eight athletes as Senior

sponsored by the conference. The honorees had to have a minimum GPA

areas of college life including athletics, academics and other
extracurricular activities.
Blatter, who graduated in May with a degree in English, concluded
her four years at Goucher with a 3.57 cumulative GPA, while
distinguishing herself as one of the institution's top female
lacrosse players. She supplied the Gophers with 68 goals and 33
assists in 2008 to become the fourth-leading all-time scorer in the
history of school's women's lacrosse programs with 211 career
goals.
The recipient of Goucher's Coaches Award as the outstanding female
student-athlete in 2007-08, Blatter was a first-team selection on
the All-Landmark Conference Women's Lacrosse Team and a second-team
pick on the All-Cheseapeake Region Women's Lacrosse Team following
her final season with the Gophers.
