The honor is the second for Pulsipher. She has a 3.51 GPA in recreation management. During her sophomore season, Pulsipher received a WCC Women’s Basketball All-Academic Honorable Mention citation.

Senior Kristine Nielson was named 2016-17 WCC Women’s Basketball All-Academic Honorable Mention. It is the third honor for Nielson, who has a 3.36 GPA in exercise and wellness.
