That's a nice list, but you might want to consider a place for Kristen Lewicki from Adrian on the 2nd team as well.

Not on an eastern All-American. I know I'm waiting for gojackets to provide the All-Americans for the western side.....

I haven't been able to watch enough games to make an informed decision this year. I'd only be going off stats and UW-Superior players...and to a lesser extent other WIAC teams. Obviously no one from Gustavus would ever make it :)

I really can't see the entire first team coming from the ECAC West... but then, I pay almost no attention to individuals when I watch, so I'm not sure who's worthy...
 
Re: D3 All-Americans Watch

Does anyone know the criteria for choosing All-American? Is there some formula applied, or are the conference Players of the Year and those with the highest points chosen? Is there a committee that makes these decisions, and if so, who sits on it?

Having just admitted I don't know the true criteria, I will take a stab at the West:

1st Team:
F Chloe Kinsel (River Falls)
F Alice Crandall (River Falls)
F Nina Waidacher (St. Scholastica)
D Paige Johnson (River Falls)
D Megan Crandall (St. Norbert)
G Lindsey Hibbard (Gustavus)

2nd Team:
F Kathryn Larson (Bethel)
F Dani Sibley (River Falls)
F Kristen Lewicki (Adrian)
D Megan Juricko (St. Thomas)
D Betsy Anderson (Stevens Point)
G Janna Bielke-Skoug (Stevens Point)

Others to be considered:

F Tara Baago (St. Thomas)
F Kelsey Kusch (Adrian) - chose Lewicki over Kusch because PIM and +/- #s slightly better
D Sara Bier (Marian) - chose Anderson over Bier because PIM and +/- #s better
D Megan Menotti (Stevens Point) - chose Anderson over Menotti because Menotti had 66 PIM [2nd highest in nation] and a minus +/-
G Jade Walsh (Adrian) - slightly better stats that Bielke-Skoug, but chose Bielke-Skoug as she was WIAC Player of the Year

The coaches in each region vote.
 
Re: D3 All-Americans Watch

The MIAC POY will be on one of the West teams. Madison Gendreau - only 26 points but well deserving. 86 points in 105 career games.
 
Re: D3 All-Americans Watch

Plattsburgh's Giovanna Senese gets the Elite 89 Award for highest GPA in the Final Four, and along with the tournament MVP in a championship-winning performance. All-American Awards are nice and all that jazz, but I think Ms. Senese will take those two awards and the National Championship over an All-American nod any day!
