DALLAS – Following a standout senior season, both on the course and in the community, Abbie Lee has been named the winner of the Spring Conference USA Spirit of Service Award, announced by the league office Thursday afternoon. The award honors student-athletes who continuously give back through community service endeavors, good academic standing and participation in their respective sports. Award recipients are nominated by their institutions.
Senior Lee dedicates her off-course time to a number of causes while serving as the president of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee at MTSU. She helped organize a donation drive for MTSU student-athletes to take part in for the Vanderbilt Children's Hospital Teddy Bear Toss and fundraised for Ascension St. Thomas for new and expecting mothers. The Glasgow, Ky., native also helped make over 200 meals for local hospital staffs during the holiday break and over 250 meals for local children in need during Student Government's Big Event. With SAAC, Lee led a department-wide food drive for local Murfreesboro food banks to get student-athletes more involved in the community.
A true scholar, Lee earned a bachelor's degree in mechatronics engineering with a minor in mathematics this past semester, graduating with a perfect 4.0 GPA. She is a three-time CUSA All-Academic First Team selection and a two-time Women's Golf Coaches Association All-American Scholar.
On the links, Lee had a phenomenal season which culminated in her earning All-CUSA Second Team honors. Her 73.09 scoring average enters the record books as the third-lowest single season scoring average in program history and she closed out the spring season with four-straight top 10 finishes, including a fifth place finish at the CUSA Championships, earning her a nod to the All-Tournament Team.
