Lakeland College women's basketball junior forward Becky Mayo has been named District 6 CoSIDA First Team Academic All-America.

The Gladstone, Mich., native has been a major reason for the Muskies success this season, and she has also had great success in the classroom. Mayo averages 12.3 points and 6.6 rebounds per game, both second on the team, while maintaining a 4.0 grade point average as an accounting major.

Mayo has two double-doubles this season and has scored in double figures in 13 of 19 contests. She is shooting 41.8 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from the 3-point line.

"Becky is a great example of what we want our women to strive for," said Lakeland head coach Lindsey Vande Hoef. "Becky has done so much on the court and is an outstanding student in the classroom as well. We hold academics in high regard and this is a terrific honor for not only an excellent athlete, but a great student as well."

With her selection, Mayo is also eligible to become a CoSIDA Academic All-American at season's end.
