Taylor Rohde of Alaska Anchorage collected his third All-America honor this season when the NABC unveiled its 2012 NCAA Division II team Thursday.

After receiving first-team honors from Basketball Times on Monday and Daktronics (sports information directors) second-team honors on Tuesday, Rohde was one of 16 choices on the coaches' team, which does not differentiate between first, second or third teams.

The only other West Region selection was Reggie Jones of Cal State Stanislaus.

Rohde led the GNAC in scoring (19.8), field-goal percentage (.627) and double-doubles (9), and finished in a virtual three-way tie for the rebounding lead with 8.0 per game.

Rohde, who was the only GNAC players selected to the three All-American teams, will represent UAA one more time on the court when he plays in Friday's NCAA Division II All-Star game.
