Concordia-St. Paul guard Lydia Haack and forward Lauren Wilson earned D2CCA All-Central Region Second Team honors, both were named First Team All-NSIC as well. CSP was the only school in the region to have multiple players earn all-region honors.
Haack and Wilson become the fifth and sixth players in program history to earn second-team honors. It is the second consecutive season that the Golden Bears have had a player earn a D2CCA All-Region Selection after Lindsey Becher was named D2CCA All-Central Region First Team last season.
This is just the second time in program history that CSP has had multiple players earn all-region honors, the last was the 2007-08 season when current head coach Amanda Johnson was named to the All-Central Region First Team alongside Katie LaViolette.
