University of New Mexico volleyball player Sarah Kwasigroch was recently named the 2008-09 Lobo Club Co-Female Student-Athlete of the Year, along with women’s tennis player Mackenzie White. Men’s golfer Jon Sauer was the male recipient.
The Lobo Club recognizes the top student-athletes in the department annually. Lobo Club president Scott Creagan made the presentation.
Kwasigroch, a senior defensive specialist/setter from Palos Park, Ill., finished her UNM career ranked seventh on the Lobos career assists list with 2,634. A pharmacy major, Kwasigroch was a four-time Academic all-Mountain West honoree and is expected to make the annual MWC Scholar-Athlete list for a third time this summer.
Kwasigroch’s biggest achievement during her Lobo career was coordinating the Lobos’ Volley for the Cure Night on Oct. 23 against UNLV. The evening’s events raised over $3,200 for the American Cancer Society and the promotion of breast cancer awareness. The Lobo team captain promoted the event in honor of her mother, Patricia, a breast cancer survivor.
