» 2008-09 D3hoops.com All-Great Lakes Region Team

Kym Wenz (North Ridgeville, Ohio / Avon Lake) of The College of Wooster women's basketball team was named to the D3hoops.com All-Great Lakes Region Second Team, the popular Web site announced late Tuesday.

Wenz, who previously earned first-team all-North Coast Athletic Conference accolades for her efforts during the 2008-09 season, was the lone NCAC player among the 15 honorees in the Great Lakes Region (three five-member teams). Also noteworthy, Wenz joins Nara DeJesus, a second-team selection in 2001-02, as the only Fighting Scots to have been all-region since D3hoops.com initiated the award eight years ago.

A 5-7 junior guard, Wenz ranked among the top-40 NCAA Div. III scoring leaders throughout the season, currently 33rd, at 18.6 points per game. That was tops in the NCAC, 2.5 points more than anybody else. About one-fourth of her scoring came at the free throw line, where she shot 84.4 percent (121-of-147) – the second-best rate in the conference and 45th in the nation. Wenz, who made 22-straight free throws at one point, also was fourth in the NCAC in 3-pointers made (1.50 per game), seventh in 3-point percentage (.375), and 10th in field-goal percentage (.411).

Wenz made an impact in all aspects of the game, averaging 5.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 2.5 steals, leading the league in the latter category. She registered five double-doubles, including twice pulling down 11 boards, to go with six games with five-plus steals.

Despite missing 12 games of her sophomore season due to injury, Wenz is already the seventh Wooster player to have eclipsed the 1,000-point milestone at 1,017. Her career scoring average is 15.6 points and she'll likely set team records for free throws made and 3-pointers made with a healthy senior year.

The D3hoops.com all-region teams are voted on by each region's sports information directors.
