ATLANTA, Ga. -- Leigha Brown of the University of Michigan women's basketball team was named to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-Region 4 team on Wednesday (March 22). The selection committee will choose the 10-member Coaches' All-America team from these 52 finalists.
Brown is a region finalist for the second straight year after finishing her final season as one of four players nationally to average at least 17.0 points, 5.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game. She appeared in 30 games, starting 28 times while averaging 17.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game. Brown topped the 30-point mark twice this past season, pouring in a career-best 36 points against Ohio State (Feb. 23). She recorded five double-doubles on the season, three coming as point-assists double-doubles and two as point-rebound double-doubles.
Brown finished her collegiate career with 1,910 points -- 1,188 of them in a Michigan jersey. She handed out 174 assists this past season after transitioning to the point guard position, ranking third all-time on Michigan's single-season list.
She is one of four Wolverines to earn multiple all-region honors in a career from the WBCA, joining Naz Hillmon, Katelynn Flaherty and Hallie Thome.
