Julie Raspaut and Leesa Beck of Arkansas Tech University have been selected to the 2005 All-Gulf South Conference West Division tennis team.

Raspaut, a senior from Toulon, France, was named to the All-GSC West Division first team. Beck, a senior from Keller, Texas, earned All-GSC West second team honors.

It is the second All-GSC award for both players. Raspaut was an All-GSC West Division selection in 2004, while Beck also made the honor squad in 2003.

Raspaut and Beck helped the Golden Suns post an overall record of 7-16, a conference mark of 3-5 and a sixth-place finish in the GSC West Division under first-year head coach Abby Davis during the 2005 tennis season.

Maja Kovacev of Central Arkansas was named GSC West Division player of the year, while Karina Gornes of Harding took GSC West Division freshman of the year honors.

Central Arkansas won the GSC West Division championship and West Florida captured the GSC East Division title during the regular season, but it was Valdosta State that won the GSC Tournament championship in Pensacola, Fla., last weekend. Valdosta State defeated West Florida 5-3 in the championship match on Sunday.
