HOUGHTON, Mich. — Michigan Tech
women’s basketball players Katie Wysocky (Whitefish
Bay, Wis.) and Sarah Stream (Ishpeming,
Mich./Westwood) were today named 2010 ESPN The Magazine
Academic All-Americans as selected by the College Sports
Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Wysocky garnered first
team honors while Stream was selected to the third team in the
College Division, which encompasses all NCAA Division II, III and
NAIA institutions in the country.
Wysocky is the 2009-10 Preseason GLIAC Player of the Year and a
six-time GLIAC Player of the Week. The 6-0 senior forward leads the
team in points (17.2 per game), rebounds (11.8 per game), field
goal percentage (58.8) and steals (43). She is the school’s
all-time leading rebounder with 1,141 and is second on Tech’s
all-time scoring list at 1,763 points. The 2009 All-America Third
Team selection also boasts a 3.89 cumulative grade point average in
business administration with a concentration in finance.
Stream is a three-time All-GLIAC performer who averages 9.4 points
and 4.0 assists for the Huskies. The 5-7 senior point guard leads
the GLIAC and ranks third in the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio
after finishing second in NCAA Division II in that category a year
ago. Stream has amassed 423 career assists, which is just 16 short
of the school record of 439. Having already gained a
bachelor’s degree in exercise science with a 4.0 GPA, Stream
possesses a 4.0 GPA as a graduate student in biological
sciences.
“I’m extremely proud of both of them,” said head
coach John Barnes. “It’s very rewarding when they can
not only be so successful and recognized for their work on the
court but more importantly for their work in the
classroom.”
Wysocky and Stream are the first Academic All-Americans in
women’s basketball history and the school’s fifth and
sixth in the last three years. Michigan Tech has had 32 CoSIDA
Academic All-Americans all-time, with 16 of those coming since
2000.
“These awards are a result of Katie and Sarah’s
commitment to both academics and athletics,” said
Tech’s Athletic Director Suzanne Sanregret. “I’m
really proud of the way they’ve represented the entire
university and community.”
The Academic All-America honorees were voted on by nation’s
Sports Information Directors. To be nominated, student-athletes
must be starters or important reserves with at least a 3.30
cumulative grade point average. No athletes are eligible until they
have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at their
current institution.
