Katie Edgerton, a sophomore for the St. Lawrence University women's basketball team, received Liberty League postseason athletic and academic league honors. Edgerton was named to the league's All-Academic team. She is majoring in economics. She also received all-conference honorable mention for her play on the court. She averaged 11.9 points and 5.2 rebounds this year. Edgerton's season ended Friday when the Saints lost a Liberty League tournament semifinal to Rensselaer, 67-55, at Skidmore College. Edgerton contributed six points and five rebounds for SLU, which finished the year 18-7 with a young team.

Former Shelburne resident Peter Child has rejoined the St. Lawrence University men's hockey team after missing several games with an injury. Child, a sophomore defenseman, was hurt in a Jan. 22 game against Brown University, tearing a small ligament that holds the patella in place. The prognosis was eight to 12 weeks on the sideline, but he returned against Dartmouth on Friday and Harvard on Sunday. "I've just done my best to stay in shape the last four weeks," he said in an email last week after he returned to the Burlington area to have his knee rechecked. He said he still had some pain in the knee but expected it would be manageable. Child has six goals and 15 points in 26 games this season and his return means he will be ready when the Saints take on archrival Clarkson University in a best-of-3 ECAC Hockey League playoff series this weekend in Canton, N.Y. St. Lawrence finished the regular season tied for fifth in the ECACHL.

Former University of Vermont and Champlain Valley Union hockey star Peter Lenes of Shelburne continues to enjoy a solid rookie season with the Ontario (Calif.) Reign of the ECHL. Lenes, who was named to the ECHL all-star team, has scored 13 goals, including two short-handed goals, and 23 points in 53 games. The 5-foot-4, 158-pound forward has been a crowd favorite in his first professional season.
