Junior Dana Larsen will be awarded the American Bank Female Academic All-Star of the Year during halftime of Baylor's women's basketball game against Iowa State on Saturday. American Bank has honored Baylor student-athletes at men's and women's basketball games throughout the season, and Larsen was selected as the best female representative both on and off the field.

Larsen is a Biochemistry major with a 4.0 GPA who was named second-team Academic All-American this past season. The junior forward also led the Bears in goals (11) and points (24), while finishing tied for third and seventh in the Big 12, respectively.
