Thinking Critically, Acting Justly:
Reaching New Heights
Double Trouble
Loyola’s very own dynamic duo, Trenell and Trenese Smith, from LaPlace, La., continue to bring success to the women’s Wolfpack basketball team. In addition to helping Loyola win the 2007 Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Championships, each sister has been named a GCAC Player of the Week and All-GCAC. The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) honored Trenese to their All-American women’s second team and Trenell with an All-American women’s honorable mention. Most recently, the Louisiana Sports Writers Association named both sisters to the All-Louisiana teams.
