The honored student-athletes with the schools they represent are: Amanda Frame, Minnesota State; Heather Hamilton, Minnesota Duluth; Chelsea Hausauer, North Dakota; Sarah Huls, Nebraska-Omaha; Katie Krauth, Augustana, Marci Miller, South Dakota and Abby Velta, St. Cloud State.

Huls, a senior from Waverly, Neb., holds a 3.539 GPA in recreation and leisure studies, placed second in the 2005 NCC tournament in singles and teamed with Lindsay Henjum to win the doubles title.

The select group will be honored at the NCC Honor Awards Dinner May 23 in Okoboji, Iowa, and are finalists for the league's Stan Marshall Award which will be announced at the dinner.
