Orangeburg, N.Y. (7/10/20) Dominican College women's lacrosse player, Jenna Fox, has been named as Dominican's nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award.

Established in 1991, the award recognizes graduating female athletes who have distinguished themselves in academics, athletics, service and leadership throughout their college careers.

This year there was 605 total nominees (new record) with 126 of the nominees coming from Division II.  Nominees competed in 24 sports, with multisport student-athletes accounting for 128 of the nominees.

One of the top players in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) during her career, Fox recorded her 100th career assist versus American International back on March 10. She was also named to the CACC Women's Lacrosse Weekly Honor Roll once this season before the campaign was ended in mid March due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fox was named to the All-CACC First Team in each of her first three seasons (2017-19), while also being named the 2017 CACC Women's Lacrosse Rookie of the Year.

In her career she scored 167 goals, while recording 101 assists for 268 points. She collected 122 ground balls, logged 260 draw controls and posted 72 caused turnovers. Fox is Dominican's all-time leader in assists, points and draws, while also ranking second in caused TOs, third in goals and ground balls.

Fox, an education major, graduated with a 3.85 cumulative grade point average. She was named Dominican's top Sophomore Scholar-Athlete and is a three-time selection to the CACC All-Academic Team. Fox was also inducted into the Dominican College New York Sigma Chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma in 2019.

In the community, Fox helps run a lacrosse clinic for children K-2nd, and coaches a travel team called Metro Lacrosse for 5th and 6th graders.

Fox is one of the nominees being considered as the CACC's nominee.  After that nomination is submitted, the Woman of the Year selection committee will then pick the top 30 honorees—10 from each division. The top three from each division will be announced in September with the winner announced at a ceremony recognizing the top 30 in Indianapolis October 20.
