Simonds Named WBCA/State Farm Honorable Mention All-America
Atlanta, Ga. - For the second consecutive season, Kelsey Simonds (Middleboro, Mass.) has been named to Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA)/State Farm National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II State Farm Coaches' All-America Basketball Team. The 10-member team was selected by an online vote of the selection committee. The committee is comprised of one representative from each of the eight geographical regions and a chairperson.
"It is never an easy task to select just 10 players from hundreds as the best in Division II, but this group of 10 student-athletes made the job much easier," said WBCA CEO Beth Bass. "Each one of these student-athletes has distinguished themselves above the rest, and we would like to honor them for their hard work."
Simonds, an All-Northeast-10 First Team selection for a second straight season, averaged 15.2 points per game and 8.6 rebounds in 25 games this year. Earlier this season, Simonds surpassed the 1,000-career point plateau and ranks second on the school's all-time blocked shots list (182). In a four-overtime win over Bentley she had 30 points, 16 rebounds and seven blocks. On two occasions this season she was named Northeast-10 Player of the Week and finished third in the conference in double-doubles (10).
State Farm insures more cars and homes than any other insurer in the U.S., is the leading insurer of watercraft and is also a leading insurer in Canada.
