STREAK MOVES UIW UP IN POLL
Incarnate Word’s men’s basketball team has opened the season with a nine-game winning streak and based on that beginning the Cardinals are listed in the latest national Division II poll.
The National Association of Basketball Coaches released it voting today and UIW is number 21 in the country. A week ago the Cardinals were among “others receiving votes” and in the 26th slot.
Incarnate Word plays in the Lone Star Conference and that league is well-represented this week. Central Oklahoma, who the Cardinals defeated earlier, is at number 13 while Midwestern State is 24. Tarleton State received votes giving the LSC a four-pack in the rankings.
The 9-0 start by UIW is the fifth best in school history opening a season. And that mark is the best the Cardinals have achieved in their 11-plus years of NCAA competition. Incarnate Word opened the 1998-1999 season at 17-0 playing in the NAIA.

Graduation News
CARDINALS EARN UIW DEGREES
Incarnate Word conducted its annual fall commencement ceremonies over the weekend and with more than 850 names on the degree lists the Cardinals athletic department was well represented.
Of the 19 athletic teams sponsored by the University 13 had either student-athletes or staff members receive their degrees, many with honors or distinction. In the case of men’s golf, it was both honors and distinction. Jordan Lambkin, an accounting major, earned both a master of science degree with distinction (4.0 GPA), and a bachelor’s of business administration, magma cum laude (3.70 GPA or better).
To earn a graduate degree with distinction the student must post a 4.0 grade point average. Undergraduate degree honors are cum laude (3.5 to 3.69 GPA), magna cum laude (3.7 to 3.89) and summa cum laude (3.9 or better).
For those who might be counting, UIW’s baseball program produced six graduates this fall to lead all Cardinals teams. Women’s basketball had five collect diplomas while both men’s soccer and softball checked in with four each. And, the fledgling Cardinals football program had its first player graduate when Thomas Specia received his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology, cum laude.
