NEW ORLEANS - Former Tulane soccer player Megan Weinlein has been awarded a Postgraduate Scholarship Award from Conference USA, as announced today by commissioner Britton Banowsky.

Weinlein, who attended Plano West High School in Dallas, Texas, is one of 11 C-USA student-athlete graduates who were nominated by Faculty Athletics Representatives and approved by the Board of Directors to receive the $4,000 award. She stayed on at Tulane for her remaining two years and earned her bachelor of arts degree in communications in May and has been accepted to law school at Emory, as well as Washington and Lee.

Weinlein, a defender, was named Tulane Women's Soccer Newcomer of the Year after her freshman season and earned two letters before the sport was suspended after Hurricane Katrina. In her two seasons, Weinlein played in 31 games, started 29 and accumulated three points on three assists. She also was a member of the Tulane 3.0 Club and was selected to the Conference USA Commissioner's Honor Roll.
