Cameron’s Dario Gabriel and Allison Duffin were named the Men’s and Women’s Academic Player of the Year to headline the Lone Star Conference golf academic awards announced by league officials Sunday evening at the championship banquet.
Gabriel earned top academic honors for the second straight year and was joined by West Texas A&M’s Brayden Cruth and Braxton Sides; Midwestern State’s Chance Craig; and Western New Mexico’s John Gallegos. Gabriel and Sides were repeat selections on the All-Academic Team.
On the women’s side, Duffin headlined the team along with Tarleton State’s Casey Wild; WT’s Jelina Fernando and Mattye Mason; and WNMU’s Brenda Dominguez. Wild and Mason were recognized for the third consecutive year.
To be eligible for LSC academic honors, student-athletes must carry at least a 3.30 grade point average and be at least a sophomore, both academically and athletically. The Academic Player of Year award and All-Academic Team are selected from the list of academically qualified players, with the league’s sports information directors voting based on both academic and athletic achievement.
