ATLANTA – Fresh off a pair of sensational senior seasons that resulted in trips to the NCAA West Regional, Alaska Anchorage senior Hannah Wandersee and Northwest Nazarene senior Ellie Logan received honorable mention recognition on the 2019 Division II Women's Coaches Basketball Association All-America Team.

Wandersee earned the nod after leading Alaska Anchorage to its second straight Sweet Sixteen season. The GNAC Player of the Year, Wandersee finished the season ranked second in the conference in scoring at an average of 15 points per game. She also came up clutch when it mattered most, averaging 20.3 points and 5.3 rebounds per game over three contests at the NCAA West Regional. The Kodiak, Alaska product was named to the D2CCA All-West Region First Team earlier this month.

Behind a fantastic final year in Nampa for Logan, the Nighthawks took home the GNAC Championships title and advanced to the second round of the NCAA West Regional. The senior was named the GNAC Championships MVP in Bellingham, capping a season in which she provided solid and consistent production on a nightly basis. The forward averaged 11.4 points and 5.3 rebounds per game, helping her earn First Team All-GNAC and Second Team D2CCA All-West Region honors. 

The WBCA presents the Player of the Year award annually to the top player in five of the six WBCA membership divisions (NCAA Divisions II, and III, NAIA, junior/community college and high school). The Player of the Year and the 10-member Coaches’ All-America team in each division are selected by a committee of WBCA member coaches in that division.

The Division II Conference Commissioners Association All-America and All-Region Basketball Teams are sponsored by the D2CCA. The teams are voted on by the members of D2SIDA, NCAA Division II Sports Information Directors Association.
