Galligan is finalist for Lowe's Senior Class Award
Issue date: 2/5/09 Section: Sports
Eastern women's basketball senior forward Rachel Galligan became the second Eastern athlete named a finalist for the Lowe's Senior Class Award, which was announced Tuesday.
Galligan was nominated for the award, based on student-athletes' dedication and achievement in four areas: classroom, character, community, and competition. The Senior CLASS Award is an acronym for Celebrating Loyalty and Achievement for Staying in School.
Galligan, who is a four-year starter on the Panthers and Eastern's fourth all-time leading scorer, has served as the president of Eastern's chapter of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and represented Eastern student-athletes on the athletic director search committee last year.
Galligan is the only Ohio Valley Conference player who made the 10 finalists. Voting for the Senior CLASS Award began Wednesday and continues through March 22. Fans can vote for the winner online at www.seniorclassaward.com. Text message voting for Galligan can also be done by sending the message "WB2" to 839863.
