WOMEN’S BASKETBALL: Barrs, Kinard named Southland All-Academic
Published 3:44 pm Thursday, March 28, 2019
NCAA all-time steals leader Chastadie Barrs and fellow Lamar senior Moe Kinard were named to the Southland Conference All-Academic Team.
Barrs was honored as such for the second time. She is the only four-time Southland defensive player of the year and set national career (649) and single-season (193) records for steals in 2019. She also is the just the second NCAA player to total 1,000 points, 500 rebounds, 500 assists and 500 steals.
Kinard scored a Lamar-record 58 points, including an NCAA-record 13 three-pointers, against Denver earlier this season and led Lamar with 21.6 points per game. Her 45.8 percent shooting from the floor is a career high.
Nicholls State guard Cassidy Barrios was named the Southland student-athlete of the year for women’s basketball.
All nominees must have earned at least a 3.2 grade-point average on a 4.0 scale and demonstrated athletic achievement for at least two years at the nominating institution.
