LUBBOCK, Texas (March 19, 2023) – The two national organizations that annually award All-America honors in women's basketball have each announced their All-America recipients for the 2022-23 women's basketball season and the Division II Conference Commissioners Association's (D2CCA) 2022-23 Woman's Basketball All-America Teams and the Women's Basketball Coaches Association's 2023 WBCA NCAA Division II Coaches' All-America team each honored Lubbock Christian University's

Foster was one of 10 players in NCAA Division II women's basketball selected to the WBCA's All-America Team list (they honor 10 on their main list and an additional Honorable Mention list) and claimed Second Team honors by D2CCA (they do five each on a First, Second and Third Team and Honorable Mention). The sophomore from Childress, Texas is on a Lady Chaparrals squad that completed its season with a 24-11 record en route to a co-divisional title and a regional finalist completion. She led the team with 16.4 points per game (third in the Lone Star Conference) and a university single-season record 311 rebounds (leads the region and ranks 14

th nationally), free-throw percentage (.915, ranking eighth nationally and recorded as the fifth best single-season mark in program history) and is 16

The honor for Foster marks her as the eighth D2CCA selection and seventh WBCA All-America selection in program history (since transitioning to NCAA postseason eligibility in 2015-16). She is sixth Lady Chap to claim All-America honors from the two different organizations in the same season. LCU has had at least one All-America recipient for four consecutive seasons.
