FAIRFAX, Va. - George Mason senior rower Maureen McAuliffe continues to be recognized for her outstanding season, most recently being selected a 2011 Pocock All America Second Team Award recipient by the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association. Last month, McAuliffe was named to the All Mid-Atlantic Region First Team by the CRCA.

McAuliffe was one of 21 student-athletes named to the Second Team. The Herndon, Va., native is joined on the team by fellow Colonial Athletic Association rower Veronica Townsend of Northeastern.

The first and second team awards recognize the outstanding performances of rowers and coxswains on the national level in women's collegiate rowing. To be nominated for the award, a student-athlete must meet the general requirements for CRCA post-season honors, which includes having rowed at least 75% of the current spring season's races in the varsity boat. A student-athlete is selected to 1st and 2nd teams based on the strength of finish of the institution's varsity eight within the country, coach comments and 2k erg score.

McAuliffe is currently attending the USRowing Women's U23 National Selection Camp in Oklahoma City. She was one of 24 collegiate rowers in the nation invited to attend the camp which culminates in the World Rowing Under 23 Championships in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, or the U23 Trials in West Windsor, N.J.
