ADALENE
WRIGHT NAMED LSC SCHOLAR-ATHLETE AWARD WINNER FOR TWU
DENTON,
TX—Nearly 30 student-athletes were recognized
by the Lone Star Conference as the league announced its
annual LSC Scholar-Athlete Award winners and senior volleyball
player Adalene Wright (Garland, TX/South Garland H.S.) is
the 2002-03 honoree for Texas Woman's University.
Wright
finished her four-year career with 1,515 kills, 1,123 digs
and 289 total blocks while being named Academic All-Conference

straight season, earning 396 kills, 352 digs and 75 total

Each academic
year, the LSC presents a Scholar-Athlete Award to one male
and one female student-athlete at each member institution.
These student-athletes are selected as representatives of
the outstanding accomplishments in athletics, scholarship
and leadership that are displayed on each LSC campus during
the year.
To be eligible
for consideration, student-athletes must have participated
at least two years in their sport and must have exhausted
their athletic eligibility. In addition to representing each
of the league's 15 member institutions, this year's recipients
represent 14 of the 16 sports that are sponsored by the league.
Members of this year's group led their respective teams to
five LSC divisional titles, five LSC championships, four
NCAA regional titles and one NCAA national championship.
Sixteen of the recipients call Texas home, while seven are
from Oklahoma and another from Kansas. Five others come from
far away places: American Samoa, Burundi, Canada, Germany
and Poland.
