Southland Conference All-Academic Team Release
FRISCO, Texas -- Accolades continue to pile up for Stevi Parker on the heels of a successful senior season which saw her put forth a career-best campaign on the hardwood. The latest honor comes in the forth of a Southland Conference All-Academic First Team selection, per a release from the conference office on Thursday afternoon. Parker's strong commitment to exemplifying being a student-athlete saw her become one of just ten athletes named to the All-Academic teams.
A native of Bixby, Oklahoma, Parker appeared in and started all 32 games for SFA, earning First Team All-Conference honors after averaging 12.8 points and 9.5 rebounds per game as the Ladyjacks went 25-7 on the season. She achieved a pair of notable career milestones this season, breaking into the 1000-point plateau for her career and later cracking SFA's top ten list for career rebounds. Her performance in the 2018 Southland Conference Tournament also led to her being named to the All-Tournament Team for the second straight season.
Parker was a major component of the 32nd 20-win season in program history during the 2017-18 campaign. Her 10 double-doubles and conference-leading rebounding helped SFA earn the 26th postseason tournament appearance in program history, a first-round berth in the WNIT.
Having already finished her undergraduate studies, Parker was named to the All-Academic team for her performance in non-degree graduate studies. To be eligible for the award, nominees must possess a 3.0 cumulative GPA or higher. Nominees were selected based upon votes collected from the league's head coaches, SIDs and an academic/compliance staff member from each institution.
