HARROGATE, Tenn. - Lincoln Memorial University volleyball senior Allison Holstein was recently named the recipient of the B. Frank Turner Award at the University’s annual Athletics Banquet last Thursday night on the LMU campus.

Civically, Holstein has served as a volunteer at Harrogate’s Tri-state Nursing Home, and with area school children while occasionally singing the National Anthem at various LMU sporting events.

In addition to last week’s Turner Award, on May 6, 2006 Holstein will graduate with her degree in Kinesiology and will leave Lincoln Memorial University having set an example to be followed by generations of Railsplitters to come.

Each year the Turner Award is given to the top male and female student-athletes at Lincoln Memorial University who best represent the University and what it stands for on the field of play, in the classroom and in the community.

Holstein, a senior majoring in Kinesiology has served as Team Captain for the past two seasons and helped lead the Lady Railsplitter volleyball team achieve a 20-15 overall record this year, while finishing second on the team in digs (3.01) and first in assists (1290). In addition, the four-year letterman ranks fourth all-time at LMU in assists (2,673), fourth in assists per game (7.38), seventh in career service aces (135) and seventh in career digs (954), while getting named once in 2004 as Gulf South Conference Player of the Week.

In the classroom Holstein has been equally as impressive throughout her four years at Lincoln Memorial University. The Brownsburg, Indiana native has been on the Gulf South Conference Honor Roll four consecutive years as well as the LMU Dean’s List with a 3.36 grade point average.
