The 2000 Kodak All-America team will be announced at a news conference at the Pennsylvania Convention Center on March 30.
The team, made up of the top ten NCAA Division I women's basketball players, is selected by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association. The Kodak All-America team, partnered by Eastman Kodak Company and the WBCA, is one of the the oldest and most prestigious honors in women's college basketball, and has been selected annually since 1975. Approximately 30 finalists will be announced on March 7. Ann Meyers-Drysdale will host the March 30 conference, which will be held at 4 p.m. ET at the WBCA Exhibit in Hall D of the Pennsylvania Convention Center. "This award has a long-standing tradition of honoring the best women's college basketball players," said Meyers-Drysdale, the former UCLA Bruin who was the first-ever four-time Kodak All-American. "To be a member of the Kodak All-America team is what all players strive to achieve during their collegiate careers. If you're the best, you're a Kodak." Several former Kodak All-Americans will also be making an appearance, as the U.S. national team will play Hungarian professional club team MiZo-PVSK in an exhibition game at 7 p.m. ET at the First Union Spectrum. Overall, 75 former Kodak All-Americans have played in either the ABL or WNBA. Fifty former All-Americans also have suited up for the U.S. Olympic team. Tennessee boasts the most All-Americans, with 32 Lady Vols earning Kodak All-America accolades. Kodak also will announce its top 10 players from NCAA Division II and III levels, as well as the top 10 NAIA and junior college/community college players in the nation. |
