Aldridge honored for academics

Kansas sophomore Lauren Aldridge has paced the Kansas women’s basketball team on the hardwood all season, but it’s not just her work ethic on the court that deserves recognition. Aldridge’s achievements in the classroom have garnered attention after being named to the 2016 CoSIDA Academic All-District selection on Thursday.

She has continued her trend of sinking shots from beyond the arc, making 36.8 percent of her attempts from the three-point line. Aldridge leads the team with 49 assists and is averaging 1.7 rebounds per game.
