UIW’s Mora tops women’s basketball academic honors

A total of six student-athletes were recognized Tuesday as the Lone Star Conference women’s basketball academic honors were announced by league officials at the LSC Awards Banquet in Allen, Texas.

      The honors included an All-Academic Team, with an Academic Player of the Year, for the league.

      Incarnate Word’s Ify Mora was tabbed LSC Academic Player of the Year.  The junior biology/pre-med major from Grand Prairie, Texas, is fourth in the LSC in steals with 1.8 per game.  She received first team Capital One Academic All-District honors recently.

      To be eligible for LSC academic honors, student-athletes must have reached sophomore status and carry at least a 3.30 grade point average. The All-Academic Team is selected from the list of academically qualified players, with the league’s sports information directors voting on the basis of both academic and athletic achievement.

      On the All-Academic Team with Mora was UIW teammate Kosi Mora, Abilene Christian’s Mackenzie Lankford, Tarleton State’s Peyton Adamson, Angelo State’s Karli Kellermeier and Cameron’s Jordan Kauk.
