MILWAUKEE – Christina Eloe has been named a recipient of the NACC FAR Award, the league office announced Monday.
The award was developed by the NACC's Faculty Athletics Representatives (FARs) to recognize outstanding achievements and commitment in three essential areas – academic performance, contribution to athletics, and service to the campus community. Additionally, it recognizes the perseverance and determination demonstrated in the pursuit of success in those endeavors.
All nominees are taken under consideration by a subcommittee of the conference's FARs, which determines the winners.
Eloe, a midfielder on the Edgewood University women's lacrosse squad, started 63 of 66 games during her career, scoring 132 points on 108 goals - including six game-winners - and 24 assists. She also tallied 245 ground balls, 111 caused turnovers and a program record 283 career draw controls. Eloe earned all-conference in each of her final three seasons as an Eagle, sandwiching first-team honors in 2024 and 2026 around a second-team honor in 2025.
A nursing major, Eloe spent time serving her community as a volunteer at The Beacon - a local homeless shelter - where she worked alongside peers to provide free health screenings, including blood pressure and blood glucose checks. Beyond clinical care, she helped individuals navigate housing opportunities, job applications, and medication management.
Eloe also worked as an anatomy and physiology course coach in Edgewood's Learning Lab, supporting fellow students through challenging coursework and offering encouragement during stressful periods. She served as a trusted peer helping to foster a supportive and inclusive environment by demonstrating a consistent commitment to show up for others.
As a result of her work in the classroom, Eloe has been named a NACC Scholar-Athlete four times and was named Academic All-District® by College Sports Communicators in 2024, 2025, and 2026. She was also named to the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Academic Honor Roll in 2025 and 2026.
The four additional recipients for the Winter/Spring of 2026 are:
- Kylee Doherty, Edgewood University, women's track & field
- Jessa Alderman, MSOE, women's track and field
- Kolby Dax, MSOE, men's track & field
