Martin Named Modern Woodmen Student-Athlete of the Week

SHERMAN, Texas - Austin College athletics is excited to announce the Modern Woodmen of America Student-Athlete of the Week, an award highlighting our great student-athletes on and off the field of play each week. This week's honoree is 'Roo women's basketball player Lexi Martin.

Martin, a junior guard from Sanger, had a strong weekend for the 'Roos as Austin College competed at the Millsaps Thanksgiving Classic, leading the team in scoring in both games. Martin opened the weekend with an 18 point effort against the host school, hitting 4-of-7 threes in the game, and followed that up with 19 points and four more threes in a victory over Mississippi University for Women. She added seven total rebounds over the two games, as well as three steals, and has now scored in double figures in four straight games. Martin currently leads the 'Roos and ranks in the top 10 in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference with 13.6 points per game.

Modern Woodmen of America is proud to recognize and support the ongoing achievements of Austin College student-athletes.
