BYU women's basketball: Beeston, Hamson garner academic honors

San Bruno, Calif. — BYU women’s basketball players Kim Parker Beeston and Jennifer Hamson were named to the 2012-13 West Coast Conference Women’s Basketball All-Academic Team. This is the second consecutive honor for both Cougar student-athletes.

Teammates Xojian Harry, Ashley Garfield and Haley Steed were named Honorable Mention.
