RICHARDSON, Texas – As it departs NCAA Division III for NCAA II beginning in the fall, the McMurry University athletics was well-honored in the post-season awards from the American Southwest Conference for the Winter/Spring of 2012.

Two of the War Hawks' teams – women's golf and men's tennis – were voted the ASC Student-Athlete Advisory Committee Team Sportsmanship Award for their respective sports. Both teams also advanced to their ASC post-season tournaments, as well.

A pair of student-athletes – Matt Thompson (baseball) and Alaisha Guerra (cross country) – were recipients of the ASC's Scholar-Athlete Medal of Honor Awards for McMurry. The ASC Scholar-Athlete Medal of Honor Award is presented to one male and one female member of the graduating class who has compiled the most outstanding record in academics, athletics and leadership over their collegiate career. The award is presented annually by the Faculty Athletics Representative at each conference member institution.

McMurry also landed a total of 31 spots on the ASC Winter/Spring All-Academic Teams in the sports of men's and women's basketball, baseball, men's and women's golf, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's track, as well as athletic training students. The McM baseball team led all of the War Hawks' Winter/Spring sports with 11 honorees.
