U of M, Crookston senior women's basketball player Megan Eul received a pair of awards Thursday. She received the NSIC Myles Brand All-Academic with Distinction Award and was named to the Capital One Academic All-District Women's Basketball Team.
Eul is the second-leading scorer for the Golden Eagles this season with 13.2 points per game. The 5-foot-10 forward from Rosemount, Minn. is majoring in early childhood education.
The NSIC Myles Brand All-Academic with Distinction Award is named for the late NCAA President Dr. Myles Brand and is bestowed to senior NSIC student-athletes who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.75 or higher, are exhausting their eligibility and are on track to graduate. Each student-athlete will be recognized by the NSIC with a certificate of achievement and a wrist watch. Furthermore, each institution is highly encouraged to have these student-athletes be publicly recognized at a home athletic event. A total of 85 student-athletes from the NSIC’s 14 institutions will receive the award in its third year.
“The NSIC is excited to have this opportunity to honor an elite group of our student-athletes for their accomplishments. We feel very privileged to name the award after Dr. Brand in recognition of his strong support and the continued emphasis he placed on academics in the ‘Life in Balance’ theme of Division II,” said NSIC Commissioner Butch Raymond.
The Capital One Academic All-District team honor is given by College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Eul will advance to the final voting for the CoSIDA Academic All-American team.
