PBC Women's Basketball Players Receive All-Region Honors

UGUSTA, Ga. --

Several Peach Belt Conference women’s basketball players have received post-season recognition from different organizations following a very successful 2006-07 season. Lander’s Tiara Good, the PBC Player of the Year, was named both first-team Daktronics All-Region and a finalist for the WBCA/Kodak All-America team. Armstrong Atlantic State’s Kaneetha Gordon was also placed on both lists, earning second-team Daktronics honors while being a WBCA finalist. GCSU’s Marquita Driskell was also named Daktronics first team while Lander’s Stephanie Ponds was placed on the second team. USC Aiken’s Mindy Allee was named WBCA/Kodak finalist.

Good led the Lady Bearcats to a 15-13 regular season record, finishing third in the North Division at 9-7. Selected as the 2007 Peach Belt Conference Player of the Year, Good led the league in scoring at 21.9 points per game, while pulling down 7.2 rebounds and dishing out a league-leading 6.3 assists per game. Good scored at least 20 points 15 times during the season.

The Peach Belt Conference's leader in rebounding, Gordon averaged 15.6 points and 11.6 rebounds per game in 2006-07 and currently ranks seventh in NCAA Division II in rebounding. She is the fourth AASU player in the last five years to earn WBCA All-Region honors.

The WBCA All-America team will be released on March 20 just prior to the start of the NCAA Elite Eight. The Daktronics All-America team will be released on or about the same day.
