Abilene Christian’s Julia Mongin, Cameron’s Julia Puckhaber, and Tarleton State’s Karla Martinez shared Lone Star Conference Women’s Tennis Player of the Year acclaim as the annual awards were announced by league officials on Thursday.
Mongin was selected as the women’s top player for the third consecutive year, while also earning All-LSC honors for her singles and doubles play.
Puckhaber and Martinez were tabbed All-LSC singles and doubles as well.
The all-conference honors were voted upon by the head coaches at each LSC member institution for the sixth time in 2013. Previously, the results of the LSC Individual Championships Tournament determined the team.
Tarleton’s Alicia Perez, CU’s Puckhaber and ACU’s Laura Mongin shared Sportsmanship Player of the Year honors, while Midwestern State’s Fatima Clementino earned Newcomer of the Year honors. ACU’s Kaysie Hermsdorf collected Freshman of the Year acclaim and the Wildcats Hutton Jones was named Coach of the Year for the third straight year.
A total of 27 student-athletes from six member institutions were recognized through the LSC’s all-conference program.
