BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Southern University freshman Maria Molina Diaz has been named Second Team All-Southwestern Athletic Conference, the league announced Thursday.
 
Despite missing the first five games of conference play, Molina Diaz quickly made her presence felt. She posted a 180.89 average (1,628 total pins) over nine games to close the opening stretch of SWAC competition, ranking 12th overall and narrowly missing the initial All-SWAC cut.
 
The Colombian native elevated her performance at the SWAC East Round-Up, where she averaged 185.07 (2,591 pins) across 14 games to finish fifth overall. Competing on a challenging pattern where no bowler averaged above 190, Molina Diaz's consistency stood out among the league's best.
 
Her strong finish boosted her season conference average to 183.43 (4,219 pins) over 23 games, moving her into seventh in the league standings. The effort earned her Second Team All-SWAC honors, finishing just half a pin shy of First Team recognition.
