MELVILLE, N.Y. - iSportsWire -- The Odierno Law Firm is proud to announce the Brianna Lieneck Memorial Scholarship. In honor of Brianna Lieneck, this scholarship will be awarded annually to a female student athlete currently enrolled in her senior year of high school in Nassau or Suffolk County, New York who is planning to attend college. The recipient will be granted a one-time tuition award of $15,000, which will be paid directly to the institution of enrollment.

In 2005, Brianna lost her life in a tragic boating accident at just 11 years old. This accident inspired Brianna's law, a comprehensive boater education law requiring all power boaters in New York State to complete an eight-hour boating safety course.

A vibrant and tremendous young athlete, Brianna enjoyed several sports. She particularly enjoyed softball. Brianna was known to embody the core values of hard work, teamwork, and dedication and was a diligent student who worked hard on and off the field.
