BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Campbell senior Courtney Cannon has been named to the 2010-11 Capital One CoSIDA Academic All-District III Women's Basketball team, as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

Cannon earned second team honors after posting a 3.75 GPA while majoring in accounting. The Starkville, Miss. native is averaging 7.5 points and 2.8 rebounds per game for the Lady Camels, hitting .857 percent from the free throw line, second in the Atlantic Sun.

"We're very excited for Courtney," said CU head coach Wanda Watkins. "This is an outstanding achievement for someone who just epitomizes what you're seeking in a student-athlete. We're honored to have a player from our program chosen for a great award like this."

The senior paced CU with 14 points off the bench in the Lady Camels' 65-63 win at Jacksonville on Monday, and has posted double figure points in three of her last five games. Cannon also notched a career-high 22 points at Lipscomb in an 81-66 victory, part of an 8-2 January for Campbell.

Cannon was also named A-Sun Academic All-District as a junior at Campbell after a two-year stop at Itawamba Community College, where the guard earned Academic All-American status.

Cannon is the third Lady Camel in history to receive Academic All-District honors. Ashley Moore (1994-98) was the first to earn the honor, earning Academic All-American status in 1997. Ashley Moore was also an All-District performer in 1998. Sara Moore (1997-01) was also a two-time All-District III honoree, taking home awards in both 2000 and 2001.

Laura Broomfield of North Carolina, Monique Floyd of UNC Greensboro, Mackenzie Maier from High Point, Brittany Strachan of North Carolina State and Allison Vernerey from Duke joined Cannon on the CoSIDA District III Second Team.

Courtney Chihill of Florida Gulf Coast, Jericka Jenkins of Hampton, Marissa Kastanek of NC State, Jazmine Thomas of Duke and Katie White of Coastal Carolina made the District III First Team.

Joining Cannon and Chihill as A-Sun honorees was Jenna Bartsokas of Lipscomb, who garnered District IV First Team accolades.

University Division District Three consists of all NCAA Division I institutions from the states of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.

The Lady Camels travel to Mercer and Kennesaw State this weekend.
