LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech senior reliever and first-team All-Big 12 pick Steve Rowe has been named to the 2002 Verizon Academic All-America Second Team for his efforts both in the classroom and on the mound.
Rowe, a senior from Houston, Texas, owns a cumulative GPA of 3.71 and will graduate with a degree in Finance this Fall. This season Rowe was instrumental to the success of the Red Raiders as he was Tech's top pitcher all season long. In 59 2/3 innings of work, Rowe tallied a 10-2 overall record with eight saves and an ERA of 1.51. He struckout 69 batters on the year and allowed just 10 earned runs and 12 walks.
Rowe was honored previously by the league coaches as a first-team All-Big 12 selection and earned similar honors from the Dallas Morning News, The Austin American Statesman and The Waco Tribune Herald.
