MONMOUTH, Ill. —
Monmouth
College’s Melissa Gorski (Arlington Heights, Ill./Buffalo Grove) has
netted another post-season basketball honor.
Recently named a top
10 finalist for the prestigious Jostens Trophy given to the nation’s
outstanding Division III basketball player, Gorski this week was
named to the D3hoops.com All-Central Region third team. The senior
guard ended her playing career with 1,273 points, making her the
Fighting Scots’ fourth-leading scorer in the women’s program
history, and her 312 career assists ranks her third. She was second
on the team in scoring and rebounding, averaging 16.0 points and 8.5
rebounds per game. Gorski compiled a 13.8 career scoring average and
a 6.1 rebound average. The Scots completed a 14-9 season, finishing
with the second-most wins in school history.
“It’s a fitting honor
to end Mitt’s great four years here as a Fighting Scot,” said coach
Melissa Bittner. “She leaves the program as one of the best
all-around performers, placing her mark in countless statistical
categories.”
A three-time
All-Midwest Conference selection, Gorski was previously named to the
ESPN the Magazine All-Academic District V first team. She has also
been named to the Monmouth College Dean’s List seven times and is a
two-time Midwest Conference All-Academic selection.
The D3hoops.com
all-region teams are selected by a vote of college sports
information directors within the region. The Central Region includes
54 schools in five states representing seven conferences and two
independent institutions.
