     Two days after winning the NCAA Division III national championship, University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point senior center Kari Groshek has been named to D3Hoops.com�s NCAA Division III women�s basketball All-America First Team.

     Groshek, a Rosholt native and Rosholt High graduate, was selected to the five-member team that was determined based on position.

     Groshek is joined on the team by guards Missy Peterson of St. Thomas (Minn.) and Jill Dewane of Lakeland (Wis.) as well as forwards Heather Kile of Swarthmore (Penn.) and Kendra Anderson of Hardin-Simmons (Tex.).

     This season, Groshek averaged a team-leading 15.0 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game for the Pointers who finished with a 30-3 record and won the Division III championship.

     UW-Stevens Point defeated St. Lawrence University (N.Y.), 67-65, on March 16 to win the school�s second national championship. The Pointers also won the title in 1987.

     Groshek had previously been named the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) Player of the Year, WIAC Scholar-Athlete, Second-Team Verizon Academic All-American and one of the 10 finalists for the Josten�s Trophy, which honors Division III�s top student-athlete.

     Groshek finished her Pointer career as the school�s third all-time leading scorer with 1,414 points. Her 495 points this season is the second highest single-season total in school history, just four points shy of the record. Groshek�s 679 career rebounds rank fourth on the all-time list.
