Anna Larr Roberson and Jianna Morris were named to the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s All- Louisiana Team, announced by the association on Wednesday.
Roberson was named to the second team, while Morris earned honorable mention. The teams were voted on by the schools’ sports information directors and media members.
Roberson capped her stellar Lady Techsters career with her fourth consecutive appearance as one of the top players in the state. Throughout the season, she led the Lady Techsters with 12.1 points and 5.1 rebounds a game. She scored double figures in 22 games, including a season-high 27 against Vanderbilt.
After combining for 37 points and seven boards against UTEP and New Mexico State to become the 13th player in Lady Techster history to score 1,500 points and 900 rebounds, Roberson was named LSWA Player of the Week.
She finished No. 17 on the all-time scoring list with 1,646 points and was third on the career free throw percentage at 80.6.
Morris continues to pick up accolades after her freshman campaign.
Already a two-time CUSA Freshman of the Week and CUSA All- Freshman team member, Morris was one of two freshmen to pick up the honor.
She averaged 7.0 points, 3.2 boards, and 2.4 assists per contest, with 10 games scoring double figures. The Arkansas native was not only the primary ball handler on the offensive side but was tasked with shutting down the opposing team’s star player. Morris finished with the second most minutes by a freshman in program history with 1,052.
