Koehn Named Second Team Academic All-America
Mar 08, 2005 | Women's Basketball
WALTHAM, Mass. A standout in the classroom and on the court, Kansas State’s Laurie Koehn was recently selected to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Women’s Basketball Team by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). The 5-foot-8 senior guard from Hesston, Kan., carries an impressive 3.97 grade-point average in elementary education, earning her second team Academic All-America honors alongside SW Missouri State’s Nicole Lehman, UW-Green Bay’s Tiffany Mor, Kent State’s Lindsay Shearer and Liberty’s Kristal Tharp. Last season, Koehn became the first women’s basketball player in school history to be named first team Academic All-America. She is currently the school’s and Big 12 Conference’s all-time leader in career three-pointers made (378) and is 14 shy of breaking the NCAA all-time record held by BYU's Erin Thorn (391). Koehn is two three-pointers away from moving into second all-time on the NCAA charts. As a freshman in 2001-02, she led the nation in three-pointers made (122), the second most in a single season in NCAA history. Koehn currently ranks third nationally in three-point field goals per game (3.0 avg). To be eligible, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative grade-point average of 3.20 on a 4.00 scale, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director. Since the program’s inception in 1952, CoSIDA has bestowed Academic All-America honors on more than 14,000 student-athletes in Divisions I, II, III and NAIA covering all NCAA championship sports. ESPN the Magazine is in its first year as the exclusive corporate sponsor of the Academic All-America program.
