The senior forward tandem of Missy Gregg and Margaret Saurin teamed up once again to give Christian Brothers University a double repeater on the 2002 NSCAA/adidas Women's NCAA Division II All-America Team. The squad was announced at a news conference in Dallas, Texas, on Thursday, Dec. 12.
Among the seven players making a repeat appearance on the team, only one was an underclassman: Naomi Clarke, a junior from Cambridge, New Zealand, who plays for Lock Haven University.
The NSCAA/adidas All-America teams are determined through voting by NSCAA member coaches from across the nation. The teams, from youth to NCAA Division I, will be honored at the NSCAA/adidas All-America Luncheon, to be held Saturday, Jan. 18, as part of the 2003 NSCAA Convention in Kansas City, Mo.
