Tingley Academic All-District Again

Recent College of Wooster graduate Lindsay Tingley (Rockville, Md. / Walter Johnson) was one of 11 student-athletes on the 2006 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District First Team for women’s at-large sports, announced the College Sports Information Directors of American Thursday.

It marks the second year in a row Tingley, a field hockey player, has earned the prestigious honor (second-team as a junior), and by being on the first-team this time, she’ll be on the national ballot for Academic All-American® consideration.

The nominees for this distinguished award spanned NCAA Divs. II and III and NAIA institutions across the five-state district of Alabama, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and Tennessee, while at-large sports include crew, fencing, field hockey, golf, gymnastics, ice hockey, lacrosse, rifle, skiing, swimming, tennis, and water polo.

Tingley earned first-team All-Great Lakes and All-North Coast Athletic Conference accolades last fall. She drew the majority of attention from opposing defenses, but still finished as Wooster’s third-leading scorer with 15 points on six goals and three assists, while leading the Scots to an 11-9 record and appearance in the NCAC Tournament championship game. For her career, the three-time all-region and four-time all-conference performer totaled 66 points on an evenly distributed 22 goals and 22 assists, the latter of which ranked as the sixth-most in team history.

Off the playing field, Tingley, who majored in political science with a minor in history, graduated magna cum laude May 15 after previously being one of 22 campuswide inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa national honor society as a junior. Also a member of Phi Alpha Theta (history honor society) and co-coordinator of the Wooster Volunteer Network, she plans to go to law school.
