Earning second-team status was Erica Hemmert while Donya Anderson received honorable mention.

Off the court, Shannon Kroeker, Nicole Ellis and Hemmert were named NAIA All-American Scholar athletes for their work in the classroom.

Hemmert was named to the second team after earning honorable mention last season.

The WaKeeney native averaged 11.8 points per game this season while shooting 48 percent from the field and hauling in 4.8 rebounds per game.

Hemmert was the KCAC Freshman-of-the-Year four years ago and has earned first-team all-conference honors the past three seasons. She was Player-of-the-Year this season and earned a spot on the All-Defensive team.

"Erica is one of those players who gets the very most out of her athletic abilities," coach Rusty Allen said. "You don't find that often. She's also a great leader.

"Erica has grown as a player, she's grown as a leader and she's grown as a person," he added. "I think she's made an incredible contribution to the success of our basketball program at Tabor College."

Anderson, who hails from Ardmore, Okla., is a two-time first-team All-KCAC selection and concluded a junior season averaging 9.1 points and 8.7 rebounds. She led the KCAC in rebounding for the second consecutive year.

"Donya has gotten better every year," Allen said. "The thing I'm really excited about with Donya is that I think she's ready to step up and assume a major leadership role on our team. With our losses after this season, we really need that.

"She's well deserving of the honor and I'm really fired up to have her back for her senior year," Allen added.

The Bluejays were also represented well in the academic field.

Ellis, a junior from Sapulpa, Okla., majors in elementary education. Kroeker, a Hillsboro senior, majors in business administration and management and Hemmert is a psychology and biblical and religious studies major.

"If you don't have good students on the team, you quite likely won't be around very long,"Allen said. "At Tabor College, you perform in the classroom or you don't make it. It's that simple.

"Also, if you have intelligent people, it makes a difference about what kinds of things you can do out on the court to gain a competitive advantage," he added. "This honor also speaks about their character, work ethic and level of responsibility.

"These are just fantastic honors and I'm very proud of all of them."
