Morgan Luksa

FRISCO — Sophomore Morgan Luksa was named to the Southland Conference's Softball All-Academic second team, the league office announced on Tuesday.

Luksa, who carries a 3.58 grade-point average in kinesiology, was one of 24 student-athletes selected to the squad. The League City native posted a 4-5 record, 2.70 ERA, 45 strikeouts and a pair of saves in 98.2 innings of work this season.

The right-hander tossed a five-hit shutout with five strikeouts in a 4-0 win against Northwestern State on May 9 and also hurled a three-hitter in a 3-1 win at Houston Baptist on April 21. She threw three complete games in 32 appearances (12 starts) and surrendered just 19 walks.

Katie Duhe of Southeastern Louisiana was chosen as the Student-Athlete of the Year.

The team was voted upon by the circuit's coaches, sports information directors and academic advisors. Honorees must maintain a minimum cumulative 3.0 gpa and have competed in at least 50 percent of their team's events during the season.
