ANGELINA COLLEGE’S NATASHA MACK HEADLINES 2019 WBCA TWO-YEAR COLLEGE COACHES’ ALL-AMERICA TEAM

ATLANTA (March 7, 2019) – Natasha Mack of Angelina College is the 2019 WBCA Two-Year College Player of the Year and headlines the 2019 WBCA Two-Year College Coaches’ All-America team, announced by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association today.

Mack averaged 23.9 points per game and 11.4 rebounds per game for the regular season. She started all 29 of the team’s games while shooting 59.3 percent from the field. Last season, she was a first team WBCA Coaches’ All-American and a second team NJCAA All-American. She also earned NJCAA Region XIV Freshman of the Year honors.

The WBCA presents the Player of the Year award annually to the top player in five of the six WBCA membership divisions (NCAA Divisions II, and III, NAIA, two-year college and high school). The Player of the Year and the 10-member Coaches’ All-America team in each division are selected by a committee of WBCA member coaches in that division. The Wade Trophy is presented to the best player in NCAA Division I.

“The WBCA is pleased to name Natasha Mack as the 2019 WBCA Two-Year College Player of the Year,” said Danielle Donehew, executive director of the WBCA. “Natasha has played an integral role in guiding her team to an extraordinary season and is very deserving of this distinguished honor.
