Shannon Clerkin Earns All-Central Region Honors
Junior named to Third Team

Shannon Clerkin added All-Region to her list of awards.
LAKE FOREST, IL - D3hoops.com released its women’s basketball all-region teams Wednesday (March 17) and Lake Forest College junior Shannon Clerkin (Barneveld, WI/Barneveld) was selected to the Third Team.

Clerkin led the 2003-04 Foresters with 14.8 points and 8.6 rebounds per contest. The 5’10” forward also set a school record with her .583 field goal percentage and recorded a team-high 35 blocked shots, the second-highest total in the program’s history. Her 34 steals ranked second on the squad, as did her .739 free throw percentage.

Clerkin was one of just three players on the team to see action in all 24 games and the only one to start each of them. Lake Forest finished the season with a 16-8 overall record and a 12-4 mark in Midwest Conference play.

After three seasons, Clerkin ranks seventh in team history with 867 career points, sixth with 513 rebounds, and second with both 84 blocked shots and a .552 field goal percentage. If her numbers as a senior resemble those she posted this season, Clerkin should move into third place on the scoring list and take over the lead in each of the other three categories.

Clerkin also earned First Team All-MWC and Second Team Academic All-District (CoSIDA) honors this season. She was the team’s Most Valuable Player in 2002-03 as well as a First Team All-MWC and Academic All-MWC selection.
