Clarksville, Ark.-Three University of the Ozarks women's basketball players received awards from the American Southwest Conference, it was announced by ASC Media Relations Director Greg Weghorst Tuesday.
Sophomore center Sabrina Goddard was named to the All-ASC East Division Second Team, sophomore guard April Young earned ASC All-East Division Honorable Mention and freshman point guard Chelsea Glasscock made the ASC East Division All-Freshman Team.
“I’m real proud of all three of these girls,” said head coach Carl Ramsey. “Sabrina was one of the top scorers, rebounders and shot blockers through out the year. Anytime you have a big kid on a team it is a valuable thing. She did a great job inside and drew a lot of attention, and that opened up things outside. She gave us a stabilizing force inside. April was also one of the top scorers during the season. She is a great presence outside. She could score off the dribble and she provided a lot of leadership for us. Chelsea handled the ball and ran our offense. She did a great job of getting us in the play and taking care of the ball. I think we made some strides this year and with all three coming back I am looking forward to the future.”
