Center Valley, PA (March 26, 2010) – Senior Kelly Magrann (Sinking Spring, PA/Holy Name) was honored on Friday morning by the MAC Conference office being named the 2010 Women's Basketball MAC Scholar-Athlete. The MAC recognizes a senior student-athlete as its scholar-athlete among each sport weighing academics and athletics excellence as well as the nominee's involvement within the community.

To be nominated you must be a senior and must have at least a 3.20 GPA or higher. Points are awarded to each nominee based on their cumulative GPA and their athletics excellence, while also factoring in the nominee's involvement within the community. Magrann becomes the second Bulldog to earn the honor this year joining Andrew Ferretti of the men's cross country team who took home the award in the fall. It is the second straight year the women's basketball award has been given to a DeSales player after LeighAnn Burke received the award last season.

Magrann is carrying a 3.97 cumulative grade point average into her final semester at DeSales as a Sport & Exercise Science major. She is a four-year member of the women's basketball team having completed her career this past season with three Freedom Conference Championships and three trips to the NCAA Tournament, including a “Sweet 16” appearance during her sophomore year.

She was a major part of the Bulldogs success this past season earning All-Freedom Conference Second-Team honors and being named to the CoSida/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District Third-Team. Magrann averaged 10.7 points per game and led the team with 61 made three-pointers, shooting 40.4 percent from outside the arc. She finished her career with 571 career points, ranked sixth all-time with 97 made three-pointers, and shot 35.9 percent from three-point range for her career.

Magrann has been accepted and will be pursuing her doctorate following her graduation from DeSales in May at Arcadia University in physical therapy.
