The 2001 California women’s lacrosse team finished its third season as a varsity sport this past spring with a 12-6 mark and advanced to the title game of the Western Women’s Lacrosse championship under head coach Jill Malko.  

Besides the Bears achievement on the field, with five players earning all-conference recognition, Cal also had two players, senior midfielder Sarah Wheatley and junior attacker Laura Kado, named to the IWLCA Division I Academic Squad. Senior midfielder Alana Dunnigan was a recipient of the Geballe Student Athlete Award as well, receiving the prestigious post-graduate scholarship May 11 at the ceremony and luncheon at Memorial Stadium.  

Dunnigan has been an outstanding player for the Bears the last four years and has been selected to play in the National Lacrosse Tournament and the National North/South Senior All-Star Lacrosse Game. She carried a 3.79 GPA in history, and has been selected to join Phi Beta Kappa. Dunningan was also named one of this year’s Neufeld Scholar-Athletes as Cal’s graduating female athlete with the highest GPA. She plans to study law at the University of San Francisco this fall.
