ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Three members of the Navy women's rowing team were selected to the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association's All-Mid-Atlantic Region Team Monday.

Lindsey Spiese (Sr., Camp Lejeune, N.C.) was named to the region's first team, while Abby Maxwell (Sr., Salina, Kan.) and Kristin Lyles (Fr., Fairfax Station, Va.) garnered second-team accolades. Lyles was the lone coxswain named to the second team.

All three athletes were members of Navy's varsity boat throughout the spring season. While Lyles served as the coxswain for the crew, Maxwell rowed in the No. 5 seat and Spiese in the No. 6 seat on the boat.

In addition to receiving regional accolades this year, both Spiese and Maxwell also garnered All-Patriot League honors this season.
