FRISCO, Texas – McNeese's Salome Fluri has earned the Southland Conference's Women's Tennis Student-Athlete of the Year honor, the league announced Monday along with the All-Academic First and Second Teams.
Fluri's decorated season also saw her win the conference's Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year awards, finishing the year 22-2 in singles (9-0 in conference) and earning a place on the Southland All-Conference First Team Singles. She translated that excellence into the classroom with a 3.68 GPA as a Freshman Psychology major.
Southland Conference All-Academic Teams are voted upon by the head coach, sports information director and an academic/compliance staff member from each school. Voting for one’s own athletes is not permitted.

Student-Athlete of the Year nominees must have held at least a 3.50 GPA and have completed at least one semester of athletic competition at the nominating school, including the current season.
*First Team All-Conference athletes who meet all-academic nomination criteria are automatically named to the all-academic team.
