Smith picks up seventh All-America honor this season
WACO, Texas – Baylor senior NaLyssa Smith was honored as a member of the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-America first team, the organization announced Thursday.
The All-America selection was the seventh of the season for Smith. She was also a first-team pick by Sports Illustrated, The Athletic, the Associated Press, the USBWA and the John R. Wooden Award. Earlier on Thursday, Smith was named a Senior CLASS Award second-team member.
She led Baylor to its 13th Big 12 regular-season title and a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Smith became one of seven Bears to reach the 2,000-point / 1,000-rebound mark in her career.
The Converse, Texas, native averaged 22.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.2 blocks per game during the regular season. Her 25 double-doubles this year set a single-season Baylor record and was good for third in the country.
