UMC's Nordick Named D2CCA All-Central Region Second Team

BOLIVAR, Mo. – University of Minnesota Crookston women’s basketball player Katrina Nordick (Sr., F, Perham, Minn./Applied Studies) was selected D2CCA All-Central Region Second Team.

The All-Region teams were selected by Sports Information Directors from NCAA Division II Central Region schools and conferences selected the D2CCA All-Region teams. The process concludes with All-American selection announced later in March.

The team is sponsored by NCAA Division II Conference Commissioners.

Nordick earned All-Region accolades, a first for the senior Golden Eagle women’s basketball player and a first for the program. Nordick finished the season averaging 17.2 points per game and was third in the NSIC in scoring. She also averaged 6.9 rebounds per game. The UMC player ended her career third all-time in scoring with 1,559 career points and first all-time in rebounds with 697. Nordick is one of only three players in school history to earn All-NSIC First Team honors in back-to-back seasons joining her teammate Alexa Thielman (Sr., G, Buffalo, Minn./Health Science) and Jessica Forsline. Nordick is also in the record books for several other major accomplishments during her career. In addition, she helped the Golden Eagles turn everything around, leading them to a program-best 18 wins and back-to-back home playoff games. In addition, she helped lead UMC to back-to-back appearances in the NSIC/Sanford Health Tournament quarterfinals at the Sanford Pentagon.

Fatima Adams of Arkansas Tech University was named D2CCA Central Region Player of the Year. Taylor Varsho of University of Sioux Falls, Alexis Foley of Winona State, Brittney Dietz of U-Mary and Nordick were the four players who earned All-Region honors. Varsho was the only All-Region First Team pick.
