Baylor Lady Bear — and Baylor Law School student

[UPDATE: Agbuke has been named 1 of 10 finalists for the Senior CLASS Award (learn more below). Fan balloting counts for 1/3 of the final result; click here to vote for Sune!]

Now in her fourth year in Baylor’s women’s basketball program, Sune Agbuke is a familiar face to fans at the Ferrell Center. The 6-foot-4 post has started 47 of the Lady Bears’ last 60 games and ranks fourth in Baylor’s record book for career blocks.

Now in her fourth quarter at Baylor Law School, she’s also a familiar face around the Umphrey Law Center — that is, when she’s not on the basketball court or traveling with the team.

Agbuke, BA ’14, compiled a 3.53 GPA while earning her philosophy degree from Baylor in just three years. Oh, and she’s also found time to visit both a local juvenile correctional facility and an area homeless shelter twice a month. And to serve four years as a Fellowship of Christian Athletes team leader. And to travel to Kenya and Nairobi with Baylor’s sports ministry teams during the summers of 2012 and 2013.

So how does she do it?

“I have a great support system here,” Agbuke says modestly. “My classmates are extremely supportive; they know our game schedule, they know when I’m gonna need notes. And my professors are extremely flexible with me; that helps a lot.”

Given all that, it’s no surprise that the San Antonio native is one of 30 women’s basketball student-athletes named as candidates for the 2014-15 Senior CLASS Award, given annually to the Division I senior who best excels in the community, classroom, character and competition.

The award winner will be announced during the Final Four in April. But first, Agbuke has a few more games to win — and law classes to attend.

Sic ’em, Sune!
