2018-19 Women’s Basketball Scholar-Athletes

SEWARD, Neb. – The list of 2018-19 Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athletes is nine strong with student-athletes from the Concordia University women’s basketball program. The group includes senior Quinn Wragge, a repeat Scholar-Athlete. The nine honorees equaled Mount Marty for the most among all NAIA Division II women’s basketball programs.

In order to be nominated by an institution’s head coach or sports information director, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, must appear on the eligibility certificate for the sport and have attended two full years as a non-transfer or one full year as a transfer. A total of 312 women’s basketball student-athletes across the nation were named 2019 Scholar-Athletes by the NAIA.

Concordia University ranks as the NAIA’s all-time leader in number of Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athletes with 1,428 and counting. The Bulldogs have been a regular national leader for both scholar-athletes and scholar-teams and are coming off a 2017-18 academic year that resulted in 77 more scholar-athletes and 20 scholar-teams (third most in the nation). Also in 2017-18, seven Bulldog student-athletes garnered both CoSIDA Academic All-District and CoSIDA Academic All-America accolades.
