In addition to helping Lee University to its second consecutive NAIA national championship, twin sisters Christiane and Linn Christensen (Oslo, Norway) have claimed their second NSCAA/Performance Subaru NAIA Women’s All-America honors with the announcement of the 2009 team.  They are among six players who received the recognition for the second time in their careers.

Lee had a total of six players among the 33 on the team, including four repeat honorees: the Christensen twins and sisters Jaime and Jenna Achten (Franklin, Tenn.). California Baptist University and Lindsey Wilson College each had three players on the squad, while four other schools (Auburn-Montgomery, Houghton, Robert Morris and William Carey) each had two player recognized.

The NSCAA/Performance Subaru All-America selections were recognized at the annual All-America Luncheon, held in Philadelphia, Pa., on Jan. 16 as part of the 2010 NSCAA Convention.
