March 3, 2010

BARTLESVILLE, Okla. - Southwestern Oklahoma State University basketball player Madison Cabaniss was one of five players chosen to the Lone Star Conference's North Division All-Academic team in an announcement by the league's office at the annual awards banquet in Bartlesville, Okla.

To be eligible for LSC academic honors, student-athletes must have reached sophomore status and carry at least a 3.30 grade point average. 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 Honor Roll.

Cabaniss, a junior from Arapaho, currently maintains a perfect 4.0 grade point average while majoring in health sciences at SWOSU. This season she played in 25 of the team's 27 games with 15 starts. She averaged 4.2 points and 2.6 rebounds. Twice she scored in double figures with her high-point output coming with a 13-point effort against Tarleton State.

Joining Cabaniss on the team were North Division academic player-of-the-year Cristy Nitz of Northeastern State, Destiny Brown of Southeastern Oklahoma State, Ashley Beckley of Central Oklahoma and Sarah Millar of Northeastern.
