INDIANAPOLIS-- Skidmore College senior forward Logan Frederick has been selected to the inaugural Allstate Women's Basketball Coaches Association Good Works Team®.
 
The award recognizes a unique group of men's and women's college basketball student-athletes who have made outstanding contributions in the areas of volunteerism and civic involvement, including building homes for the elderly, leading basketball clinics, reading to students and working with children with hearing disabilities.
 
Frederick is one of 10 women honored and will receive her award at the NCAA Division I Women's Final Four in New Orleans, April 7-9.
 
"Logan's tireless work on the court is only a small portion of her entire impact on the environment of our campus and off campus community," said Darren Bennett, Skidmore women's basketball coach.  "She has spent her four years as a college student exploring her many personal interests while enjoying the opportunities to reach out and be of assistance to others as a volunteer or leader in many ways."
 
The Arlington, Va. native recently completed an outstanding four-year career for the Thoroughbreds. She started 67 of 101 career games, averaging 4.8 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.  This past season, she served as captain, starting all 26 games.
 
Frederick has compiled an impressive community service resume in her four years at Skidmore.  From her first days on campus, she has been a volunteer firefighter/EMT and EMS coordinator for the Maple Avenue Fire Department in Greenfield. She is also a catechist at St. Clement's Catholic Church, teaching high school juniors and seniors in confirmation preparation.  In addition, she sings in the church's youth choir.
 
On campus, Frederick is the Newman Club President, organizing the weekly campus Mass. She is also a resident assistant and tutor in mathematics and geosciences.
 
A major in geosciences, she will present her senior thesis at the North East Geological Society of America in April. She used the Army Corp of Engineers HEC-RAS modeling program to determine the discharge of logging dams in Adirondack Streams.
 
"The men and women being recognized with this award have demonstrated a commitment to excellence on and off the court," said Pam Hollander, senior director of marketing for Allstate Insurance Company and a member of the 2013 NABC and WBCA Good Works Team® selection panels. "Allstate commends these student-athletes for their contributions and are very proud to introduce the inaugural NABC and WBCA Good Works Teams."
