KANSAS CITY, Mo. – As the 2018-19 women’s tennis seasons comes to an end, the MIAA has announced this year’s All-Conference teams and awards. Fort Hays State’s Lauren Lindell earned the achievement of sharing the Sportsmanship Award for the year. The announcement, made Thursday (April 25) from the conference office, also named first, second and honorable-mention teams as well as other awards.

Lindell shares the honor with Claire Neil of Nebraska-Kearney and Sara Grozdanovic of Northwest Missouri State. She is the second Tiger in two years to earn this honor as Laura Jimenez-Lendinez captured the mention in 2017.
