Think you're busy? Try juggling that growing pile of homework with a varsity sport, a senior thesis in the Psychology department and substantial community service, and you've got a schedule that would suffocate most Princetonians - but not senior Lizzie Keady.

A forward and captain for the women's hockey team, Keady was recently recognized for her outstanding achievements when she was named the winner of the 2008 Sarah Devens Award. Presented by ECAC Hockey and Hockey East, the award is given annually to the player that best displays her "leadership and commitment both on and off the ice." Created to honor the memory of former Dartmouth tri-sport captain Sarah Devens, who passed away in 1995, the award includes a $10,000 educational grant for the winner. Of the hundreds of female student-athletes in the Hockey East and ECAC Hockey leagues eligible for this award, Keady was chosen. She is the first Tiger to receive the honor.

"I found out I was nominated a month and a half ago," Keady said. "Then about two-and-a-half weeks ago, my coach told me I had won the award. I wasn't expecting it at all. To be honest, I was shocked to even be nominated for it."
