Janine Kuwahara is a third team selection and Erin Brown, Anna Groce and Heather Penatzer were honorable mention selections on the 175-player National Ten Pins Coaches Association (NTCA) Academic awards list.
Kuwahara is a business administration major with a perfect 4.00 overall grade point average. She also was named to the 2015 College Sports Information Directors Association (CoSIDA) Academic All-District team this spring.
Penatzer is a humanities and social sciences major with a 3.90 overall GPA. Groce holds a 3.75 overall GPA as a health sciences major. Brown, also a health sciences major, owns a 3.67 overall GPA.
With the addition of these four players' awards in 2015, the total of Sam Houston All-NTCA Academic Awards in the five-year history of the program has grown to 22.
