AUSTIN, Texas - Txylo -- Caldwell University senior bowler Lauren Marks (Parsippany, N.J.) has been named to the 2024-25 Academic All-America® Women's Division II At-Large First Team as selected by College Sports Communicators (CSC), the organization announced today.

Marks, a Fine Arts major with a 3.95 GPA, was an All-CACC First team performer, three-time CACC All-Academic and CSC Third Team Academic All-America performer in her senior season in 2024-25.
