07/11/2002
GREENVILLE, N.C. - The East Carolina University softball team has received the Conference USA Sport Academic Award. The Pirates and Saint Louis University both received the award for softball. The announcement came today from the league office in Chicago, Ill.
The Sport Academic Award is given to the team in each conference-sponsored sport with the highest grade point average (GPA) for the academic year.
"We are pleased to receive such a great honor from Conference USA," said softball head coach Tracey Kee. "Academics are very important to the full development of the student-athlete, and our players work really hard throughout the year to keep their grades up."
Fourteen softball players were named to the Commissioner's Honor Roll, maintaining a GPA of 3.0 or higher throughout the academic year. Beth Bridger, Addie Chlebnikow, Kate Manuse, and Stacey Smith were also named Academic Medal Winners, which is given to those student athletes with a GPA of 3.75 or higher.
