SAN BRUNO, Calif. - Redshirt senior Tamia Stricklin and sophomore Sydnie Rodriguez each earned a spot on the West Coast Conference’s All-Academic honorable mention team for their academic and athletic achievements over the course of the 2025-26 season, as announced by the league this morning.
To be recognized, a student-athlete must hold at least a cumulative 3.20 GPA or higher while also being a significant contributor to the team in at least their second year with the program.
Stricklin appeared and started in 28 contests in her second year with the Redhawks. She was SU’s second double-digit scorer, averaging 10.2 points per game while shooting 40 percent from the field. Stricklin paced the team from behind the arc recording a 36 percent clip from three. In her final season, she grabbed a new career season best rebounds, leading the team with 174 boards on the year. She grabbed 29 steals and picked up 29 blocks while dishing 51 assists.
Rodriguez competed and started in 22 contests on the year. She totaled 137 points, averaging 6.2 per game. She tallied 107 rebounds, 22 assists and 28 steals in that time span averaging 25.6 minutes per game.
The pair are part of the 28-woman honorable mention team, matching LMU and Gonzaga with two selections to the same team. Both Stricklin and Rodriguez go back-to-back with all-academic all-conference selections, both appearing on the WAC’s All-Academic team in the spring of 2025.
