Top Female Athletes Of The Decade: No. 4 Rachael Becker ?03

The Tewaaraton Trophy has been awarded since 2001 to the outstanding male and female players in college lacrosse, which means it's been given out 18 times to date. Of those 18 winners, only one was a defensive player.

Rachael Becker scored five points her senior year in lacrosse - and still was named the country's best player. Becker consistently wiped out the other team's top offensive threat, and she would lead the country in 2003 in caused turnovers.

Becker's presence helped Princeton win the 2002 and 2003 NCAA championships, and she was named the 2003 NCAA tournament MVP and Ivy League Player of the Year. She was a three-time first-team All-America selection, as well as a three-time All-Ivy and All-Region selection.

She won the 2003 Tewaaraton Trophy and Honda Award for lacrosse, and she was a Honda-Broderick Award finalist for the outstanding female athlete in all of college sports. She was named national defensive Player of the Year in 2002 and 2003. She also earned Academic All-America honors in 2002.

Becker also earned second-team Regional All-America honors in field hockey, as well as being named to the National Academic Team.

In all, Becker won seven Ivy League championships between lacrosse and field hockey.
