Montañana Named WBCA/Kodak Region I All-American
March 16, 2005
SOUTH BEND, IN - George Washington senior Anna Montañana was selected to the WBCA/Kodak Region I All-America Team on Monday, March 14. She was the only A-10 player picked to the six-person squad, which was announced by the Region I Chair, Notre Dame Coach Muffet McGraw.
With her selection to the Region I team, Montañana is now considered one of 48 finalists for the WBCA/Kodak All-America Team, which will be made up of 10 student-athletes from the eight regional teams around the country. Joining her on the Region I unit were five players from the Big East Conference. Notre Dame's Jacqueline Batteast and Megan Duffy were selected to the squad as was West Virginia's Meg Bulger, Rutgers' Cappie Pondexter, and Connecticut's Ann Strother.
Montañana leads GW with 17.3 points per game scoring average. She is also averaging 7.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists per contest. Earlier this month, she was selected to the A-10 All-Conference First Team and earned All-Championship Team honors for her showing in GW's run to the A-10 Tournament championship game, which included a 26-point performance against Temple in the final. Montañana ranks in the top 15 in several career statistical categories at GW, including points, rebounds, assists, steals, games played, three-point field goals and free-throw percentage. She is the only Colonial to record at least 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 400 assists.
Montañana and the rest of the GW squad earned an at-large bid to the 2005 NCAA Women's Basketball Championship. GW is seeded ninth in the Tempe Regional and will take on SEC foe #8 Mississippi in the first round of the tournament in Chapel Hill, NC. Tip off will be approximately 9:30 p.m. on Sunday, March 20. The game will be telecast live on ESPN2.
