Felsing Earns U.S. Army Horizon League Scholar-Athlete Honors
Nov. 26, 2008
MILWAUKEE - Junior Lauren Felsing of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee women's volleyball team has collected yet another academic award, this time earning U.S. Army Horizon League Scholar-Athlete of the Week honors for a third time. Felsing carries a 3.982 cumulative grade-point average as a marketing major and claimed a spot on ESPN The Magazine's Academic All-America squad earlier this week. The junior libero earned the league honor Wednesday after helping the Panthers to the league tournament title this past weekend. Felsing claimed a spot on the all-tournament team and had 62 digs in UWM's three wins. Felsing has now reached double figures in digs 56-straight times, the second-longest streak in the nation. She ranks third in the league and in the top 25 nationally in digs. She is also the first Panther to collect more than 600 digs in a season and she ranks fourth on UWM's all-time digs list. Felsing and the Panthers are awaiting word on where they will go for NCAA Tournament action. UWM has an automatic berth in the tournament thanks to its league tournament title. The pairings will be announced Sunday night.
