Redshirt sophomore earns honor in her first playing season at BGSU
Bowling Green State University redshirt sophomore Alexis Rogers has earned honorable-mention accolades on the Women's Basketball Coaches Association Division I Coaches' All-America Team for 2011-12. The WBCA made the announcement Saturday, in conjunction with NCAA Women's Final Four Super Saturday festivities at the Pepsi Center in Denver.
Rogers is the fifth BGSU player in the last six years to earn honorable mention to the team. Lauren Prochaska earned the honor in each of her last two seasons with the Falcons, while Kate Achter was recognized in 2007-08 and Ali Mann in 2006-07.
The WBCA announced the 10-member All-America Team from a group of 52 finalists. The All-America Team consists of Elena Delle Donne of Delaware, Skylar Diggins of Notre Dame, Brittney Griner of Baylor, Bria Hartley from Connecticut, Glory Johnson of Tennessee, Shenise Johnson of Miami (Fla.), Stanford's Chiney Ogwumike and Nneka Ogwumike, Odyssey Sims of Baylor and Alyssa Thomas or Maryland.
The 10-member team was decided by a selection committee at an in-person meeting held during the 2012 WBCA National Convention.
The remaining players, including Rogers, earned honorable mention. Rogers was one of three Mid-American Conference players on the list, joined by Eastern Michigan's Tavelyn James and Miami's Courtney Osborn.
Rogers, a native of West Chester, Ohio (Lakota West H.S.), was an All-MAC First-Team selection in her first playing season with the Falcons. She averaged 12.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game, leading the team in boards and ranking second in scoring.
In MAC games, Rogers led the Falcons in both scoring and rebounding, with 15.1 ppg and 9.6 rpg. She was the only player in the entire league to be ranked in the top five in both categories, as she was fourth in scoring and second in rebounding in conference play.
On the year, Rogers had a total of 10 double-doubles, the most by a BGSU player in over a decade. Eight of those double-doubles came in MAC play, and she had one more in the conference tournament in Cleveland. Rogers was named the MAC Player of the Week three times this season.
She tied for third on the team with 18 three-point field goals made, and shot .353 from long distance (18-of-51) to tie for the BGSU lead in that category. Rogers also deadlocked for the team lead in steals, with 1.8 per game.
The Falcons finished the 2011-12 season with an overall record of 24-7 and a MAC mark of 14-2. BGSU won the MAC's East Division, earning a divisional title for the eighth-straight season, and the Falcons captured the conference's outright regular-season crown for the seventh time in those eight years. BG advanced to national postseason play for the eighth year in a row, participating in the WNIT.
