Women's Basketball's Stull Receives Academic All-District Honors

CONWAY, S.C. – Junior Amanda Stull (Rushville, Ind./Rushville Consolidated), a guard for the Coastal Carolina University women's basketball team, has been named to the 2009 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District III University first team Thursday, Feb. 5, as announced by College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). With this honor, Stull is now eligible for the national ballot for Academic All-America honors.

 

As a biology major, Stull carries a 3.94 grade-point average and is the only player to start all 21 games for the Chanticleers this season. She is averaging 10.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game. Stull has four double-doubles on the year and has scored in double figures 11 times, including a career-high 20 points at Butler (Dec. 6).

 

The Rushville, Ind., native is second in the Big South in free-throw percentage, shooting 80.6 percent from the line, and is fifth in the league in rebounds (6.7 rpg). She has been perfect at the line in seven games, including two 8-for-8 performances against Wofford (Nov. 19) and Southern Virginia (Nov. 30), and a 7-for-7 outing against UNC Asheville (Jan. 3).

 

Stull had one of her best games as a Chanticleer last week against Gardner-Webb (Jan. 31). The junior netted 15 points, pushing her past 500 career points, dished out a personal best of 10 assists and grabbed eight rebounds, falling only two boards short of her first career triple-double.

 

The Big South Conference had four players named to the 2009 ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District III University first and second team. Stull is joined by Liberty's Megan Frazee on the first team, while Moriah Frazee and Rachel Hammond, also from Liberty, were selected to the second team.

 

Stull and the Chanticleers travel to High Point Saturday, Feb. 7 for a 4 p.m., tilt with the Panthers at the Millis Athletic Center.
