Duke's Schweitzer Selected Kodak All-America
ST. LOUIS, MO. - Duke University senior All-America Georgia Schweitzer has
been selected one of 10 members of the elite 2001 Kodak All-America first
team released in an award ceremony on Thursday in St. Louis, Mo.
Schweitzer is only the second Duke's player to receive the highest honor in women's basketball as Michele VanGorp received the honor in 1999. The Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) member coaches in each of the eight WBCA geographical districts selected the team.
Schweitzer, the reigning two-time ACC Player of the Year, led Duke to a 30-4 record this season and the number one seed in the West Region. The Blue Devils, who were ranked no lower than seventh in 2000-01, had its most successful season in the history of the program before falling in the region semifinals to Southwest Missouri State 81-71 in Spokane, Wash. on Saturday.
The native of Columbus, Ohio is Duke's most heralded player in the history of Duke women's basketball. She has been selected United State Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) All-America, Basketball Times first team All-America, Kodak District II All-America, Associated Press third team All-America, Lindy's third team All-America, SI for Women third team All-America, first team All-ACC, and first team All-ACC.
Other members of the squad include-- Connecticut’s Svetlana Abrosimova, Tennessee’s Tamika Catchings, Oklahoma's Stacey Dales, Notre Dame’s Ruth Riley, Southwest Missouri State’s Jackie Stiles, Georgia’s Kelly Miller, Purdue’s Katie Douglas, Louisiana State’s Marie Ferdinand and Mississippi State’s LaToya Thomas. Thomas, a sophomore, is the other non-senior on this team.
Schweitzer became only the fifth player in the history of the ACC and the first Duke player to notch over 1,600 points, 500 rebounds, 400 assists, and 170 steals. For the season, she averaged 14.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.1 assists in 34 games started. She started her final 99-consecutive games of her career and tallied a career record of 111-25 record in four years at Duke.
She is expected to be taken in the upcoming WNBA Draft on April 20. It will be televised on ESPN2 beginning at 11:30 A.M.
