Briody among UNM athletes awarded fifth-year scholarships
The UNM Alumni Letterman's Association announced 19 former Lobo athletes will receive fifth year scholarships, allowing them to complete work toward degrees after their UNM athletic scholarships expired. This year the group renamed the award in honor of George Brooks, who ran the ski program at UNM for 37 years and led the Lobos to their sole national championship. Brooks retired this year.
Here's the list of athletes who received scholarships:
Alanna Abeyta, women’s soccer; Charlie Beljan, men’s golf; Julie Briody, women’s basketball; Becky Dover, softball; Matt Foote, baseball; Kaela Kelly, women’s soccer; Lars Loseth, men’s skiing/men’s soccer; Alex Mach, men’s skiing; Nora Quintal, women’s tennis; Amy Ray, softball; Petter Roering, men’s skiing; Jay Russell, baseball; Bridgette Sanchez, women’s soccer; Jackie Smith, baseball; Kelly Soldow, swimming; Daniel Stovall, baseball; Kristine Sweat, women’s soccer; Jenna Syverson, swimming; and Jedd Young, men’s skiing.

Women's program next year! I am worried about a women's basketball program this year!
----
Julie earned her scholarship in the classroom, on the court, and her demeanor in the community.
----
Julie's game was not always appreciated by Phlanagan and the other High Schoolers.
----
Nonetheless, the biggest loss to the team will be her free throws.
----
Julie's free throws and those from Katie won a lot of games for us during their time on the team.
----
Go Lobos!

Sam,
I'm sorry you've been disappointed in the Trib's coverage of the UNM women's basketball team. While I did write several stories on the team this summer, there are a few reasons you did not see more in the newspaper.
The main hurdle, which I mentioned during a previous blog entry, was that I spent six weeks this summer as a morning editor on the sports desk. My shift was from 4 a.m. to noon, and I managed to do a few stories in edition to my editing duties but it was a real struggle. By the time I had finished my shift, the freshmen left campus to spend July back at home with their families.
The women's basketball team will play next year, and the Tribune will be covering the team. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and subscribing to the Trib.-- Iliana Limon
