BROOKINGS — The honors keep rolling in for South Dakota State women’s basketball standout Brooklyn Meyer.
The senior from Larchwood, Iowa, was named honorable mention All-American by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association on Thursday.
Meyer was previously named an honorable mention All-American by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association and the Associated Press and was named the Becky Hammon Mid-Major Player of the Year.
She just finished her final collegiate season, averaging 22.6 points per game, the second-highest mark in program history and the highest in SDSU’s Division I era.
Meyer scored 767 points this season, the most in a single season in program history, and set a new program single-game record with 44 points at Oral Roberts.
For the second season in a row, she broke the Jackrabbits’ record for field goal percentage, finishing this season at 64.6 percent on more than 13 attempts per game. Meyer scored 29 points against Washington in the First Round of the NCAA Tournament, matching the Jackrabbits’ single-game NCAA Tournament record. Meyer led the Jackrabbits to a fourth consecutive Summit League Tournament title in her senior campaign and was named Tournament MVP. The Jackrabbits went 22-7 overall and made their 14th NCAA Tournament appearance since 2009. Meyer ranks third in program history in career points (2,097), fifth in career rebounds (850), and is tied for second in career blocks (174). Her career field goal percentage of 60.9 percent shattered the previous program record of .572 set by Melissa Pater (1999-02).
