ATLANTA – Add another award to
Suzanna Ohlsen's lengthy collection of them.
The Seattle Pacific senior point guard is on the Women's Basketball Coaches Association All-American honorable mention list.
The inclusion of Ohlsen (Monroe, Wash. / Monroe HS) makes it two years in a row that the Falcons have had a WBCA honorable mention player.
Katie Benson earned that distinction last season.
Suzanna OhlsenOhlsen helped SPU put together a 22-7 season, which included a 77-62 victory against Humboldt State in the first round of the NCAA West Regional tournament. The Falcons tied for second place in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference with a 13-5 record.
The 5-foot-7 Ohlsen led Seattle Pacific in scoring at 17.7 points per game, and also averaged a team-leading 3.9 assists and 2.3 steals per game. She passed the 1,000-point threshold last December and finished with 1,394 points. That put her among the program's all-time top-10 scorers, in the No. 9 position.
Ohlsen wound up as the best free throw shooter in school history, connecting on 87.2 percent of her attempts (260 of 298).
Earlier this season, Ohlsen was voted to the All-GNAC first team, and the Daktronics All-West Region second team.
In addition, she was named the Academic All-America of the Year by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), also earning her third straight spot on the CoSIDA Academic All-District team and second in a row on the Academic All-America team. With her perfect 4.0 grade-point average as a biochemistry major, Ohlsen made GNAC All-Academic for the third straight season.
Ohlsen is one of four GNAC players to garner honorable mention. The others are Erin Chambers of Simon Fraser, Kayleen Goggins of Montana State Billings, and Megan Mullings of Alaska Anchorage.
