MSU Athletics

Mandy Pinkerton (1995-98) remains one of the most decorated student-athletes in Midwestern State history.

The Lake Highlands High School product earned NAIA All America honorable mention status as a freshman and closed her career as a three-time All-Lone Star Conference first-teamer.

Pinkerton was even more successful in the classroom as she became MSU's first Woody Hayes National Scholar Athlete in 1998 when she was also named a GTE Academic All American.

She graduated as Midwestern's all-time leader in kills, points and service aces.
