Kao, a member of the Class of 2007 from State College, Pa., was one of 20 scholar-athletes selected based on her academic and athletic excellence during the season. A four-year letter winner and captain in 2006, Kao earned a cumulative 3.817 grade point average as an international relations and East Asian studies major with minors in business, business administration and French.
Kao is a four-time member of the National Field Hockey Coaches Association National Academic Squad, a four-time member of the Colonial Athletic Association Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll and a two-time Arthur Ashe Sports Scholar Award recipient.
