[August 02, 2011]  Louie Schonauer is taking his shooting skills to South Beach. Schonauer inked his full scholarship to Nova Southeastern University in Florida on Monday. Nova Southeastern is an NCAA Division II school that competes in the powerful Sunshine State Conference. Schonauer plans to major in sports management.

InsuranceSchonauer was a two-year starter at Lincoln College and helped the teams to back-to-back national championships. Over his two-year career, he led Lincoln College in 3-point field goals made and 3-point field goal percentage, while averaging eight per game in 2010 and nine per game in 2011. He hit the winner 3-point shot with 16 seconds left in the Region 24 title game to move the team on to the NJCAA national tournament, where Lincoln won four straight games by an average of 16 points.

Schonauer was awarded the Sportsmanship Award two years in a row at the national tournament -- something that has never been done before. He was an academic all-American and all-conference for the 2010-2011 season. 

"I am so proud of what Louie as able to accomplish in his two years at Lincoln College, said Kirk Whiteman, head coach. "Not only what he was able to accomplish on the basketball floor, but in the classroom. He always carried close to a 4.0 GPA, while working hard in the gym to improve his total game.

"Louie epitomizes a Lincoln College student.  He used his opportunities given to him at LC to improve his opportunities down the road -- a full-ride scholarship at an outstanding academic school, where I am sure he will continue his success."

NSU is the nation's seventh-largest not-for-profit, independent university, with more than 28,000 students and 103,000 alumni; a sprawling, 300-acre Fort Lauderdale-Davie campus; and a presence in nine countries around the world.
