York College women’s lacrosse player Nicole Starner, a Biglerville High graduate, has been chosen to receive this year’s Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches Association Division III Community Awareness Award.

The senior will be honored at the IWLCA All-American banquet on June 14 in King of Prussia.

Starner, who is the president of York College’s Student Athlete Advisory Committee, is being recognized for her work to help York’s student-athletes become more connected and involved with the surrounding community. Included in her various projects were heading up “Christmas with the Community,” where Spartan varsity athletic teams adopt families from the city of York and purchase Christmas presents for the families, as well as Pennies for the Poor, where teams combined to raise over $2,000 for the Crispus Attucks Association.
