Quincy Soccer Player Wins Scholar-Athlete Award At Lasell College

NEWTON, MA — A soccer player from Quincy had a great year on the field, but maybe an even better one hitting the books. Lasell College senior Emma Papile won the the scholar-athlete award for outstanding achievements in the classroom at Monday night's awards banquet. She was one of five student athletes to receive the award.

Papile, a Hospitality Management major with a Minor in Business, was a two-year starter for the Laser women's soccer team, starting 40 of her 60 career games and helping the team to four straight Great Northwest Athletic Conference Championship games and three GNAC titles.

She is a member of the Eta Sigma Delta Hospitality Management Honor Society, and a member of the Lasell Honors Program. She has participated in the Relay for Life charity since 2015, and served as Vice President of the National Association of Catering Events organization.
