Stonecipher Honored by LSC

WICHITA FALLS, Texas - Midwestern State softball player Kristen Stonecipher has been named to the 2007 Lone Star Conference All-Academic North Softball Team announced Friday by the conference office.

            To be eligible for LSC academic honors, student-athletes must carry at least a 3.20 grade point average and have reached sophomore status both athletically and academically. The All-Academic Team is selected from the list of academically qualified players, with the league's sports information directors voting on the basis of both academic and athletic achievement. All qualifying student-athletes not selected for the All-Academic Team are then named to the Commissioner's Honor Roll.

            Stonecipher, a junior from Flower Mound, also earned second team All-LSC North, and First Team All-Region, after hitting a team best .389 batting average, with eight homeruns and 50 RBI's.

            The Mustangs finished the season 44-16, and ranked 13th in the final National Fastpitch Softball Coaches Association top 25 poll.
