MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A total of 147 student-athletes from the 2005-06 University of Memphis athletic teams were named to the Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll it was announced late Tuesday. To earn a spot on the honor roll, a student-athlete must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher and participate in a conference sponsored sport.

Rice placed the highest number of student-athletes on the honor roll, with 174. Marshall followed with 166, while ECU was third with 158. UCF was fourth with 156 honorees and the Tigers were fifth with 147 3.0 students or higher.

In the Tiger athletic department, football led the way with 28 student-athletes on the honor roll, followed by 21 student-athletes with the women's soccer team. Baseball added 20 honorees to the list to round out the team with 20 or more members on the honor roll. Four other women's teams placed almost their entire roster on the honor roll, with women's soccer landing 21 of its 26 members on the honor roll, while volleyball added 11 of its 12 member. Women's tennis placed six of its seven members on the honor roll and women's cross country had nine of its 10 members named to the academic honor roll.

Softball, having recently completed its first-ever year of competition, added seven honor roll recipients. Since rifle is not a Conference USA sport, the student-athletes participating in rifle are not included. But had it been a league sport, Memphis' Krissey Bahnsen, Kate Benjamin, Andrew Hahn, Brian Phillips and Beth Tidmore all would have received a C-USA Academic honor roll slot.

The recipients of the Commissioner's Academic Medal for having a GPA of 3.75 or higher will be announced later Wednesday afternoon.
