Three Cincinnati State players receive WBCA All-America Team honors
Three members of the Cincinnati State Lady Surge were awarded All-America Team honors today by the
Women’s Basketball Coaches Association.
Among the players named to the 2012 WBCA Junior College Coaches’ All-America Team were Cincinnati
State sophomore Dominique Fischer, who was named as an All-American, and sophomores Kara
McLemore and Brittiney Latimer, who were named as honorable mentions.
The players were selected by a vote of the WBCA selection committee. The committee is comprised of
one representative from each of the nine geographical regions and a chairperson.
"It is great to be recognized for what we as players do on the court," Fischer said. "It has been a great
season. We just want to focus on capping it off with a long run in the postseason.”
