Senior Lacrosse Standout Jen Lam Named
Second Team All-Centennial Conference

Midfielder Jen Lam '06 was named to the Second Team All-Centennial Conference after an outstanding final season with the Bryn Mawr lacrosse team. A two-year captain, Lam has been a key player for the Owls during her time at Bryn Mawr and has been a consistent role model for her teammates and peers.

This season, Lam not only led the team as a captain, but finished the season leading the team in assists (79), ground balls (78), caused turnovers (44), free-position goals (14) and points (79). She and teammate Zoe Fuller-Young '08 were tied with draw controls at 29, and she was second in scoring by only two goals (34). Lam hit a significant milestone this season, as she scored her 100th goal against Whittier College (Calif.) during the team's spring break training trip to California. She finished her career with 126 goals, a statistic that places her in the top tier in scoring for the Owls.

Lam has also made her mark on the record books at Bryn Mawr. Finishing with 124 points, 217 ground balls, 118 caused turnovers, 87 draw controls, 30 free-position shots and 28 assists, Lam is one of the most accomplished lacrosse players in Bryn Mawr history. Her success on the field has brought her much recognition from the athletic community, as she was awarded Centennial Conference Player of the Week in 2004 and 2006 and received honorable mention All-Centennial Conference accolades in 2005. Lam is also a two-time recipient of the Arthur Ashe Jr. Award, an honor that recognizes student-athletes of color who have excelled in both academic and athletic realms.

Lam will graduate from Bryn Mawr with a degree in biology. She has accepted a research position at the University of Pennsylvania and plans eventually to attend medical school. Lam will also travel to Prague, Czech Republic, to participate in an international lacrosse competition this summer.
