CU Pair Named To Academic All-Big 12 Women's Basketball Team

BOULDER - University of Colorado sophomore Meagan Malcolm-Peck and junior Julie Seabrook were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Conference Women's Basketball Team, the league office announced on Tuesday.

Seabrook and Malcolm-Peck were each named to the second team. The league academic honor is the second for Seabrook, who was a first team pick in 2010, and the first for Malcolm-Peck, who is in her first season of eligibility for this recognition.

Seabrook, a native of North Vancouver, B.C., has started all 23 games for the Buffaloes this year averaging 5.8 points and 5.8 rebounds a game. She is shooting a team-best 49.1 percent from the field and ranks 14th in the Big 12 in rebounding during league contests at 6.1 per outing. Currently the community service chair for CU's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, Seabrook is a business major in the Leeds School of Business.

Malcolm-Peck, a native Boulder, is averaging 6.9 points and 4.4 rebounds per game while shooting a team-best 39.7 percent from 3-point range. She tops the Big 12 in 3-point percentage during league only contests, hitting 12-of-24 from long distance. Malcolm-Peck, who already ranks among CU's career top 20 in blocked shots (16th with 48) and 3-point field goals (17th with 49), is planning to major in business.

Nominated by each institution's director of student-athlete support services and media relations offices, the women's basketball academic all-league squad consisted of 30 first team members combined with 16 on the second team. First team members have recorded a 3.20 or better GPA, while the second team are those with a 3.00 to 3.19 GPA. To qualify student-athletes must maintain a 3.00 GPA or higher either cumulative or in the two previous semesters and have participated in 60 percent of her team's scheduled contests.
