DENVER – Former NM State standout Gwen Murphy was named the 2015-16 Western Athletic Conference Joe Kearney Award winner, the conference announced on Wednesday. Named in honor of former WAC commissioner Joe Kearney, the award is given annually to the top male and female student-athletes in the WAC.
"Gwen was the WAC Player of the Year and an All-American, but her statistics are even more impressive when you look at what she did in our non-conference schedule against nationally-ranked competition," head coach Mike Jordan said. "She was dominant in matches against Texas, Arizona and Arizona State, among others. We have had quite a few great players here and I believe Gwen had the best season in NM State history. She was a great competitor and a tremendous leader."
