SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Elon University’s Kitara McMoore was selected Wednesday as the initial recipient of the Ann Lashley Inspiration Award, which honors the Southern Conference women’s basketball player or coach who has shown outstanding courage or service.
McMoore, a junior forward, has undergone six knee surgeries during her time at Elon. She ranks 10th in the league in scoring (10.7 points per game), fourth in rebounding (7.4 per game) and fourth in field-goal percentage (51.9) this season.
McMoore led the conference in scoring and rebounding during the 2005-06 season. More injuries and surgeries forced her to miss all of last season.
The league has chosen to present the award in memory of Lashley, the former Elon associate head coach who died in November 2005 after an eight-month battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the most common cancer of the lymphatic system.
Lashley was serving her 12th year on Elon’s staff before her death at age 40.
