AUSTINTOWN, Ohio — The Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) announced the 2007 Academic All-Conference recipients Wednesday (March 6) afternoon and Marietta College junior Justine Pagenhardt (Oakland, Md./Southern Garrett) received recognition for the second straight season.

The award winners are selected by the OAC faculty athletic representatives. To be eligible, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.25 grade point average, be a starter or key reserve and be in at least her second year of participation in the sport.

Pagenhardt, a guard, finished the regular season ranked tenth among OAC players in scoring (12.6 ppg). She also added 3.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in 2007. Pagenhardt scored a season-high 28 points in Marietta's season opener against SUNY-Fredonia and was named to the Penn State-Behrend All-Tournament Team.

Pagenhardt finished the season with 1,046 career points, which ranks sixth all-time at Marietta College. She became only the seventh Lady Pioneers to join the the 1,000-point club.

When not on the hardcourt or the tennis court, Pagenhardt, a biology major who is a member of the Athletic Director's Honor Roll and the Dean's List, is active in the Student-Athlete Advisory Council.

Marietta College finished the year 2-23 overall and 0-18 in the OAC. The Pioneers attempted a school record 419 three-point field goals in 2006-07. Marietta is expected to return all but one player from this year's squad for the 2007-08 season.
