BABSON PARK, Mass.— Lilly Bedard (Jupiter, Fla.), a 2026 Babson College graduate and four-year member of the women's lacrosse program, was recognized for her success in the classroom when the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) announced its Division III Academic Honor Roll late last week.

Bedard, who also received academic recognition this past spring from the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) and the College Sports Communicators (CSC), was recognized by the IWLCA for the second year in a row. 

The Beaver standout was among 1,347 student-athletes to earn a spot on the IWLCA Division III Academic Honor Roll. To be eligible for this award, student-athletes must be a junior, senior, or graduate student and have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.50 or better. 

An Economics and Leadership, People, & Organizations major and a three-time NEWMAC Academic All-Conference selection, Bedard enjoyed a career year for the Beavers. She earned first-team All-Conference and second-team All-Region after leading the team with career highs of 36 goals and 37 assists for 73 points. Her 37 assists are the fourth highest single-season total in Babson history, and her 73 points are tied for 13th on the program's single-season list. 

One of just two players to tally a point in all 18 games, Bedard produced at least one goal in 16 of 18 contests and dished out at least two assists on 13 occasions. Despite missing all but one game of her sophomore campaign due to injury, finished her career with 63 goals and 52 assists for 115 points in 47 contests. 

Babson concluded its season at 11-7 after falling to No. 24/15 MIT in the NEWMAC tournament semifinals.
