Northwestern Oklahoma State University junior Alecia Heath has been honored by the NAIA as a 2009-10 Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete. Heath was one of 120 NAIA Division I women’s basketball players to be awarded the honor.

“I am very happy and proud to have Alecia to be part of our program,” remarked head coach Milburn Barton. “It is a great honor for her and the Lady Ranger basketball team."

Heath, from Chickasha, was also named to the Sooner Athletic Conference Academic Team.

Nominated by each institution's head coach, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and have achieved junior academic status to qualify for the award.
