Lotte Sant was one of 11 student-athletes to earn the Conference USA Winter Spirit of Service Award, as announced by the league office on Thursday.
The award honors student-athletes with significant community service endeavors, good academic standing, and participation in their respective sport.

She shot .395 from the field during her junior campaign, including .393 from three. During conference play, she hit 43-91 from the three-point range (.473) and hit at least three threes on nine occasions.
The native of Amsterdam finished the season with 55 made threes, good for No. 10 on the all-time single-season list and No. 6 on the all-time career made threes list with 142 while helping the Lady Techsters reach their second postseason WNIT berth in as many years.
In the classroom, Sant is a three-time C-USA Academic Medalist and C-USA Commissioner's Honor Roll recipient. She was also named to the 2023 College Sports Communicators Academic All-District team.
She has a cumulative grade point average of 3.894, having recorded seven 4.0 quarters while being an 11-time Dean's List honoree and 11-time AD Honor Roll recipient.
Sant has also logged several hours of community service, including projects with projects and organizations with Buddy Ball, SAAC Trunk or Treat, Dogs with a Cause at Ruston Elementary, Special Olympics of Ruston, and the LTAC Thank-a-Thon.
