ATLANTA, GA – The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) has released their NCAA Division II All-American teams and Player of the Year, with Edinboro University's Katie Fischer (Ambridge, Pa. / Ambridge) earning honorable mention All-American honors.
 
Fischer is the first Fighting Scot to earn honorable mention since Laurel Lindsay received the distinction in both the 2013-14 season and '14-'15 season. Valerie Majewski was named to the All-American team in 2013-14 season, as was Kiara Brown in 2011-12 and '12-'13. Samantha Blazetic was an honorable mention in both of those seasons as well.
 
Emporia State's Kelly Moten took home Player of the Year honors. California(Pa.)'s Miki Glenn and Mercyhurst's Angela Heintz were the only other PSAC players to receive recognition. Glenn was named to the 10-person All-American team and Heintz also earned honorable mention accolades.
 
The Fighting Scots finished the season at 21-9, recording their seventh consecutive 20-win season and eighth straight PSAC tournament appearance before falling in the quarterfinals to California(Pa.). With Fischer leading the way, Edinboro ranked third in the conference in scoring offense at 70.5 ppg.
 
Head coach Stan Swank reflected on the honor. "It's a tremendous honor and well deserved for Katie who had a great two years at Edinboro and led our team both years to be very successful, playing a major role from the point guard position."
