Izzy Scane, a graduate student from Northwestern University, was named the Honda Sport Award winner for Lacrosse as announced today by Chris Voelz, Executive Director of THE Collegiate Women Sports Awards (CWSA).
The Honda Sport Award has been presented annually by the CWSA for the past 48 years to the top women athletes in 12 NCAA-sanctioned sports and signifies “the best of the best in collegiate athletics”. The winner of the sport award becomes a finalist for the Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year and the prestigious 2024 Honda Cup, which will be presented on a live telecast on CBS Sports Network on Monday, June 24, 2024, at 7 PM ET, from its new home in New York City.
Scane was chosen by a vote of administrators from over 1,000 NCAA member schools. Finalists included Chase Boyle (Loyola), Madison Taylor (Northwestern) and Jackie Wolak (Notre Dame).
“This award means so much to me!” stated Scane. “It is such an honor to be considered for an award with such incredible female athletes and an organization that pushes to continue to grow women's sports!”
Scane repeated as the Honda Award winner for Lacrosse and most recently was named the Tewaaraton Award winner, given to the top collegiate female lacrosse player, for the second season in a row. The graduate student also earned back-to-back honors as the two-time Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Player of the Year and Attacker of the Year. She is also a three-time Big Ten Conference Attacker of the Year and three-time First Team All-Big Ten honoree along with a three-time First Team IWLCA All-American.
Hailing from Clarkston, Mich., she set a new NCAA DI record in career goals finishing with 376, and established a new school record. She led the nation in scoring with 88 goals on the season and is the first player to lead the nation in scoring in back-to-back seasons since 2001. She averaged 4.19 goals per game to rank second nationally and helped her team to a runner-up finish at the 2024 NCAA Championship.
Scane is an eight-time Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week and holds the program single-game record for scoring with 10.
Off the field, she is an All-Big Ten Academic honoree.
The CWSA, entering its 48th year, has honored the nation’s top NCAA women athletes for their superior athletic skills, leadership, academic excellence and eagerness to participate in community service. Since commencing its partnership in 1986, Honda has provided more than $3.4 million in institutional grants to the universities of the award winners and nominees to support women’s athletics programs.
