Guise Named D3hoops.com All-Region

AURORA, Ill. March 15, 2007 - D3hoops.com announced the sixth-annual D3hoops.com All-Region team for Division III women's basketball. The Aurora University Spartan women’s basketball team placed one member on the All-Central Region Team.

Senior guard Naomi Guise (Springfield, IL/Southeast HS) was named First-Team All-Region. On the season, Guise led AU by averaging 23.2 points, 7.2 rebounds per game and shot 48.1 percent (247-513) from the field.

Guise entered the AU women’s basketball record books in her senior season at AU. She joined the illustrious 1,000-point club this season while also scoring 603 points, setting a single season mark for points scored in a season. On her career, Guise finished with 1,010 points.

AU’s women finished the season 17-9 overall and 14-5 in the NAC.

Players were nominated by the sports information directors at the various schools, who were contacted several times as the season wound down to remind them to make their players eligible. The ballot was then made available to SIDs, who voted for ten players in their region. SIDs voted for six frontcourt players and four backcourt players and the top vote-getters at each position were named to the All-Region team.

"We are thankful to the sports information directors across Division III who took the time to nominate and vote to provide broader recognition of these worthy student-athletes," said D3hoops.com publisher Pat Coleman. "Their continued help and participation is integral to the All-Region team and everything else we do."
