OVERLAND PARK, KS – Junior Caitlyn Kakavas (Bayside, NY/St. Agnes) concluded her season by being named the Association of Division Three Independents (AD3I) Student-Athlete of the Month for the month of April. The Association made the announcement yesterday, giving Kakavas her first Student-Athlete of the Month award in her career. Teammate Alyson Chiaramonte (Staten Island, NY/Moore Catholic) also won the award this season for the month of March.

Kakavas was named the Association's Player of the Week for April 4th as the Lady Bears went 16-4 in April.
