Fort Hays State’s Kate Lehman was named to the 2014 Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) Division II Coaches’ All-America Team as an Honorable Mention selection, announced Monday (March 24) by the organization.

Lehman started all 29 games for the Tigers this season, helping the team to its third straight 20-win season, a first in school history.  The center led NCAA Division II with 5.4 blocks per game (155 total) and two triple-doubles.  Lehman’s points per game (16.5) and rebounds per game (11.2) averages led the team in both categories as she totaled 20 double-doubles for the year.  The Newton, Kan., native scored in double figures 25 times this season and hit the double-digit mark in rebounds 23 times.  Additionally, Lehman had at least five blocks (her season average) in 17 games.

Additionally, Lehman has climbed into the Top 10 of several school record categories, listed below:
