San Antonio - Trinity University senior Danika Wright (Alpine, Utah/Lone Peak), a defender on the Tigers women's soccer team, has been awarded a prestigious NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
 
She became the 31st Tiger student-athlete to earn a Postgraduate Scholarship. Trinity is ranked in the top-10 for Postgraduate Scholarships among NCAA Division III schools.
 
Wright, a business administration/accounting major, will use the $7,500 award to pursue a master's in accounting at Brigham Young University.
 
Talented on the soccer field and in the classroom, Wright has made Trinity's Dean's List six times during her academic career. She is a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars, and has been selected for the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Honor Roll.
 
She was named a National Soccer Coaches Association of America Division III Scholar All-American following the 2010 season. Wright also was elected to the NSCAA All-Region Team, and the All-SCAC First Team.
 
Wright played a key role in Trinity's taut defense in 2010, which yielded only 11 goals (.55 per game). She contributed to the offense by scoring five goals (two game-winners), and chalking up two assists.
 
In 2009, Wright was selected for the NSCAA All-America First Team. She was also named the SCAC Defensive Player of the Year.
 
Trinity, led by seventh-year head Coach Lance Key, completed the 2010 campaign with an 18-2-0 overall record, and was 10-0-0 in the SCAC. The Tigers captured their fifth SCAC Championship under Coach Key's leadership, and 15th overall.
