GRUBBS NAMED A DIII BASKETBALL ONLINE ALL-AMERICAN
Division III Basketball Online has named Lake
Forest women's basketball player Alison Grubbs to their Team of the Year.
The sophomore guard from Cullom, IL (Tri Point High School) is an Honorable
Mention pick and one of 20 players selected. Grubbs was the only
Midwest Conference athlete named and one of just six sophomores selected
(no freshmen were selected).
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. She was also recently named one of 40
finalist for the Kodak All-America team.
