MONMOUTH, Ill. – Monmouth College senior women’s basketball player Ashley Yeast (Sciota, Ill./West Prairie) finished her career Wednesday in exclusive company as the only Fighting Scot – man or woman – to record 1,000 rebounds.

Yeast, who had already shattered Penny Rowan’s women’s record of 809 boards in December and in January passed Roger Sander’s school record 939 rebounds, needed just four more in her final game against Lake Forest to reach the 1,000 plateau. The 6’1 center’s milestone, a defensive board of off a miss by the Foresters’ Nicole Baich with 10:10 remaining in the first half, made her the charter member of Monmouth’s 1,000 rebound club. She finished with 12 rebounds to run her career total to 1,008 boards, averaging nearly 11 rebounds per game for her career.

The talented senior holds every women’s rebounding record at Monmouth. In addition to the career rebounding record, Yeast holds the high water marks for single game rebounds (21), rebounds in a season (315), season average rebounds (13.7) and career average rebounds (10.9). Last season, she led the nation in rebounds among Division III women, averaging 13.7 rebounds per game. Yeast averaged 10.3 rebounds and 11.7 points per game this season. Her 990 points ranks her 7th all-time among Fighting Scots women.
