Texas Woman's midfielder Jacqueline Horner was named Lone Star
Conference Academic Player of the Year as conference officials
announced the women's soccer academic awards during the LSC
Championship banquet on Thursday.
Horner, a senior kinesiology major, has a perfect
4.0 cumulative grade point average. She started all 15 games for
TWU, anchoring the defense and helping the Pioneers post six
shutouts. She scored one goal on the season, the game-winner
against Eastern New Mexico on October 10th. Horner is a two-time
LSC all-academic honoree and a member of the 2008 and 2009 ESPN the
Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District First Team.
Horner is the lone Pioneer on the All-Academic
team. She is joined on the 11-member squad by players from
Midwestern State, Texas A&M-Commerce, East Central, Angelo
State, Central Oklahoma, Abilene Christian and Eastern New Mexico.
The All-Academic team is chosen by the league's
sports information directors, who select players on the basis of
both athletic and academic achievement. To be eligible for LSC
academic recognition, student-athletes need at least a 3.30 grade
point average and must be at least a sophomore. All academically
qualified student-athletes not selected for the All-Academic Team
are then named to the Commissioner's Honor Roll.
ACU, UCO and ECU each placed two players on the
team. Jordan Reese and Courtney Wilson earned spots for the
Wildcats, Alli Miller and Angie Rundle for the Bronchos and Jordan
Antonisse and Laura McNab for the Tigers.
Finishing up the list were ASU's Christian Willman,
ENMU's Samantha Lawrence, MSU's Ashley Meek and A&M-C's Lacy
Alexander.
In addition to the 11 on the All-Academic team, 48
athletes were named to the Commissioner's Honor Roll in recognition
of their academic achievements.
