Interesting. Never heard of Manhattan U, but I've got a colleague who I graduated with(female computer science major) who has a daughter at Monmouth (not a computer science major) playing lacrosse. Again, she had two daughters and a perfect example of what I mentioned about not guiding them to computer science.

Just out of curiosity, how did you find these? Just Google or is there a specific college info source?

Just searched. Best way is to find the press release for a conference All-Academic. For example,

Patriot League - 2018 Patriot League Softball Academic Honor Roll Announced

The major is usually listed, and since you must have played in ~50% of the games to be eligible, these high achievers also play.

FYI, not on the 2019 roster. My guess is the combination of the other primary frosh pitcher (Dubois) and the demands of CS major made her decision for her.

Speaking of demands of CS major... https://medium.com/girls-who-code/g...ollege-introducing-college-loops-a1ff49d3cf7f

"Upon entering college, only one in 17 women will plan on majoring in engineering or computing — compared to one in five men. Along the way, roughly 40 percent of women computer science majors will switch majors or fail to get a degree. By the time graduation rolls around, only 4 percent of college women will leave campus with computer science degrees."

Are you trying to set your DD up for failure or talk her out of being a CS major? lol!
