CHARLOTTE, May 2, 2007 – Amber Bland earned another honor on Tuesday as she was named to the North Carolina Sports Information Association All-State Women’s Basketball Team.
Bland’s 2006-2007 women’s basketball season has also led to Bland being named first-team All-MEAC and the N.C. A&T Athletics Department Female Player of the Year. Bland led the MEAC scoring at 19.6 points per game and broke the Aggies single-season scoring record this past season.
The first and second teams consist of students from some of the smaller NCAA Division I colleges and universities throughout the state. North Carolina sports information professionals submitted nominees and NCCSIA members selected the two-five student teams. All students involved with ties in the voting process are included on the all-state squad.
Founded in 2002, NCCSIA is comprised of sports information professionals from NCAA Division I, II, III, NAIA and independent institutions from the state of North Carolina. The organization seeks to promote collegiate athletics and student-athletes at all schools. Membership is open to anyone affiliated with a college, university or conference located in North Carolina, and whose area of responsibility lies within sports information.
