RRAC Women's All-Conference Team
FORT WORTH, Texas - Senior Ashley
Walker was named to the Red River Athletic Conference first-team
on Tuesday. Junior Kashae Townsend and sophomore Shanwdrika Courtney
both were named to the second team by conference coaches.
Walker, who led the Lady Rams, averaging
12.7 points per game, is the first Texas Wesleyan
player to make the first-team all-conference since Liz Landry did
it in the 2000-01 season. The Bryan, Texas native, also averaged
8.4 rebounds per game and scored in double figures in 18 games.
The senior tallied nine double-doubles on the season and scored
in double figures in 18-of-23 games down the stretch. She was named
RRAC Player of the Week four times this year.
"Ashley had a great year for
us," head coach Stacy Francis said. "She led by example
and will be definitely missed next season."
Townsend led Texas Wesleyan averaging
8.8 rebounds per game. She scored in double figures in 14 games
this season and had double-digit rebounds in 11 games this  season.
The Hillsboro, Texas native also had six double-doubles on the year.
She was named RRAC Player of the Week one time this season.
"Kashae was a player who gave
her all every game," Francis said. "It made everyone else
work harder. We look for her to continue her success next season."
Courtney was second on the team averaging
10.2 points per game and third in rebounding, averaging 6.3 boards
per game. The Euless, Texas native, had two double-doubles and four
games with three or more blocks. The 5-9 forward also scored in
double figures in 11 games this season.
"Shawndrika has determination and
a work ethic second to none," Francis said. "She brings
the best out of all of our players. She will be a real asset to
next year's team."
All three of the Lady Rams' all-conference
selections were post players.
"The post was definitely our strength
this year and is something that we really stressed all season long,"
Francis said. "The rotation of theses three ladies worked well
against opponents."
