The event takes place at the NCAA Final Four, on April 5, in Tampa
TAMPA, Fla. – Columbia's Kitty Henderson and Cecelia Collins have been named to the Women's College All-Star Game Watch List presented by Herbalife. Players on the Watch List were selected by a distinguished panel of national media experts to potentially compete in the national showcase event on April 5 in Tampa.
The Women's College All-Star Game will provide the country's brightest college stars one final opportunity to represent their programs and be recognized against the backdrop of the sport's championship weekend. While inexhaustive of eligible players as stars emerge during the season's final month, Henderson and Collins are two of many notable standouts to appear on the watch list.
The complete watch list can be found on the event's website at www.womenscollegeallstar.com. The final event roster will be announced the week of the event. Participants in the Women's College All-Star Game will be players who have exhausted or will forego their remaining eligibility.
Henderson, a 5-10 guard from Australia, has been named Ivy League Player of the Week a league-best three times this season. She is averaging 13.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.1 steals per game, and is one of just two players in the country to average those minimums in each category. Henderson, who has played all four of her collegiate years at Columbia, ranks No. 2 in program history in career assists (447), No. 7 in scoring (1,214), No. 10 in rebounds (639) and No. 5 in steals (158). This season, she ranks top 40 in the NCAA in assists per game and top 50 in total assists.
Collins, a 6-foot guard from Scranton, Pennsylvania, is averaging 13.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 4.2 assists this season. She is shooting a team-best 53 percent from the field, which ranks top 50 among qualified NCAA players and leads the Ivy League. Now in her second year at Columbia, Collins was a two-time All-Patriot League selection during her freshman and sophomore seasons at Bucknell, who went on to earn All-Ivy League distinction in her junior year with the Lions. She has scored a combined 1,355 career points with 463 rebounds and 359 assists in her collegiate career.
Last April 20, college basketball's top senior standouts converged in Cleveland to rekindle the postseason event that Intersport helped originally launch in 1998. There, five All-Americans, more than a dozen All-Conference standouts and four future WNBA draft picks competed in front of nearly 5,000 fans on the eve of the sport's national championship game.
