Pac-10 All-Conference Honors

Pac-10 Commissioner Larry Scott announced today the three All-Conference teams voted on by the ten head coaches.

The individual honors will be announced tomorrow.

The honorees from Stanford are:

Jayne: All-Pac-10
becomes the eighth Stanford player to earn All-Pac-10 honors three times. She broke the Pac-10's all-time rebounding record, eclipsing former USC great Lisa Leslie, also becoming the seventh player in league history to join the 2,000-point, 1,000-rebound club. Appel ranks 11th in the league in scoring (14.3) and second in rebounding (9.9), recording 13 double-doubles this season while helping the Cardinal clinch its 10th-consecutive regular-season title and 19th overall.
Kayla: All-Pac-10
has put together a stellar season, boasting career highs in scoring (16.7 ppg), rebounding (9.0 rpg) and three-pointers helping Stanford go 18-0 in Conference play and 28-1 overall. A two-time Pac-10 Player of the Week, Pedersen is ranked in the top five in the Conference in scoring, rebounding and three-point shooting percentage, while posting 10 double-doubles on the year.
Jeanette: All-Pac-10
leads the Pac-10 with a 1.95 assist-to-turnover ratio and is second in the Conference with 4.54 assists per game. From three-point range, Pohlen leads the Cardinal with 51 three-pointers and is shooting 35.9 percent from long range while averaging 9.3 points per game. She scored a career-high 26 points at Oregon in February, going 10-13 from the floor and 6-for-9 from the three-point arc.
Nneka: All-Pac-10
has had a breakout season, averaging a Conference-leading 18.2 ppg, while also grabbing 9.4 rpg to rank third in the league. Ogwumike's 63.8 shooting percentage is fourth-best in the nation. Her 14 20-point outings leads the Pac-10 and has helped the Cardinal to its fifth undefeated Conference season and a No. 2 national ranking. Ogwumike turned in a 30-point, 23-rebound performance on Jan. 23 at Oregon, tying for the second-most rebounds in a game by a Pac-10 player.
Ros: All-Defensive
her intensity on the defensive end is one of the reasons why Stanford leads the Pac-10 with the lowest figures in scoring defense, limiting opponents just 54.3 ppg, while holding teams to 33.9 percent from the floor and 26.1 percent from behind the three-point arc. Gold-Onwude has also added 20 steals on the year in part because of her pesky defensive style.
Joslyn
earned honorable mention (at least one point) for the All-Freshman team.
