GRUBBS SELECTED A FINALIST FOR KODAK ALL-AMERICA
     The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA), in cooperation with Eastman Kodak Company, has named Lake Forest sophomore Alison Grubbs (Cullom, IL/Tri-Point High School) as one of 40 finalists for the Kodak All-America Team.  The finalists, who were voted upon by WBCA member coaches in each of the eight geographical districts, are now in the running for selection to the 10-member Kodak All-America Team. 
     Grubbs averaged 18.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.7 steals per game for the Foresters, who finished the season with a 20-3 record and won the Midwest Conference regular season title.  She also shot 40.8% from the three-point line and 78.6% from the free throw line.  Grubbs scored in double figures in every game but one and tallied 20 or more points 11 times, including outbursts of 27, 29 and 30 points.  She made at least one three-point field goal in all but two games and at least one free throw in all but one game.  Grubbs moved into the top 15 of the Lake Forest career record book for points, steals, assists, field goal percentage, free throw percentage and free throws made in just her second season.  On her way to her second consecutive First-team All-Conference selection, Grubbs was named MWC Player of the Week four times and twice to the Division III Basketball Online National Team of the Week. 
     The Kodak All-America program has honored the finest NCAA Division III student-athletes since 1983 when Kodak became an official sponsor of the WBCA.
