assist-to-scoring ratio while ranking 5th in rebounding
and in the top 10 in nearly all statistical categories.
The
NCAA Division-2 Central Region is made up of just 2 leagues...the
RMAC and the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference.
Nine
schools were represented on the 1st and 2nd
Daktronics regional teams, with Fort Lewis the only one with 2...RMAC
Player of the Year Allison Rosel and Defensive Player of the Year
Katie Mackey.
The
RMAC claimed 3 of the 5 selections on both the Datronics 1st
and 2nd teams, but the Regional Player of the Year was
from the Northern Sun...Minnesota-Duluth forward Jheri
Booker.
Booker, a transfer from D-1 Tennessee State averaged 20.8
points and 8.5 rebounds per game and was named the Northern Sun
offensive and defensive player of the year.
For
the men, Mike
Dominguez of Mesa State is the Daktronics All-Central Region
Player of the Year. The 6-3 senior guard was also the RMAC Player of
the Year after averaging 21 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists a
game on 53.5% including 47.2% from 3-point range.
Minnesota
State-Mankato...the top seed in the region and host of the NCAA
regional tournament this week...is the only school with 2 players
selected, one on each of the 2 men's teams.
The Daktronics All-Central Region team was voted
