business administration major with a 3.51 grade point average.
Johnson, the team's No. 2 scorer and GNAC leader in free throw
accuracy, is also a business major and has a 3.42 GPA. Both had
been named Academic All-District VIII last week.

English major with a 3.57 GPA. Sandrin, the team's sixth man at
