30 finalists for NAIA
All-America honors

Lewis-Clark
State College senior guard
Jade Fulbright is one of 30
finalists for the NAIA State
Farm Coaches’ All-America
Basketball Team, which will
be announced Tuesday at the
NAIA Championship Banquet in
Jackson, Tenn.
The Women’s Basketball
Coaches Association member
coaches nominate five
players from each of the six
WBCA geographical regions.
Those 30 players compose the
finalists, of which 10 will
be selected to receive
All-America honors.
Fulbright, a 5-foot-8 senior
guard from Wenatchee, Wash.,
was named to the
all-Frontier Conference
first team for the second
straight season. She played
a key role in helping LCSC
compile a 27-4 record,
including a 13-1 league
mark. LCSC is ranked No. 10
in the country and opens the NAIA national tournament on
Wednesday against McKendree
of Illinois at 6:45 p.m.
Fulbright had another strong
regular season and really
came on during conference
play. She started all 31
games this season and
averaged 11.9 points per
game, which was second on
the team, which featured a
balanced attack. Fulbright
was second on the team in
minutes played, but that was
only a 24.3 minutes per game
average because of LCSC’s
depth and Orr constantly
rotating players to keep
them fresh. Fulbright shot
48.4 percent from the field,
had a team-high 99 steals,
was second on the team with
87 assists, and also
averaged 2.6 rebounds per
game.
Fulbright also was one of
LCSC’s top defenders and
helped the Warriors’ shut
down conference MVP Jolene
Fuzesy in the Warriors’
final two meetings with
Carroll College. Fuzesy, a
sharp-shooting guard and the
most prolific 3-point
shooter in Carroll’s
history, didn’t even get off
a 3-point attempt in her
final two games against the
Warriors and was just
7-of-22 from the field in
the two games.
Fulbright was named the MVP
of the conference
tournament. She helped LCSC
win its three tournament
games by an average of 15
points. She averaged 13.3
points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.3
assists, and 2.0 steals per
game in the tournament and
is one steal shy of tying
the program’s all-time
steals record.
Fuzesy, a 5-10 senior guard,
and Westminster’s Shannon
Evans, a 5-8 junior guard,
also were among the 30
finalists for the team.
