Last year she was also named to the NEC Student-Athlete Honor Roll, and was a Brunswick and National Tenpins Coaches Association All-Academic Honoree. On the lanes last season she was selected to the NEC Rookie Team and All-NEC Second Team and has continued to post solid numbers so far this season.
Turner has been named to the Honor Roll for both of her semesters at Saint Peter's, after transfering from the University of Hawaii last spring. The accounting major was also named a Brunswick and National Tenpins Coaches Association All-Academic Honoree. The Honolulu, HI native finished up her second semester of athletic eligibility by being named NEC Rookie of the Week for her efforts at the Hampton Roads Collegiate Bowling Invitational Tournament.
