Stanford women’s basketball star Nnemkadi Ogwumike was named to the Associated Press Preseason All-America team on Tuesday, where the junior forward was recognized as one of the top players in the nation heading into the season.

Ogwumike, the reigning Pac-10 player of the year, led the conference in scoring last season with 18.5 points per game, and was second in rebounds with 9.9 per game. She helped lead Stanford to the national championship game, where the Cardinal was defeated by Connecticut.

Baylor’s Brittney Griner, Ohio State’s Janel Lavender, Oklahoma’s Danielle Robinson and Connecticut’s Maya Moore round out the All-America team. Moore won the Wade Trophy last season as the national player of the year.

Cardinal seniors Jeanette Pohlen and Kayla Pedersen were also honored this week. On Wednesday, the two All-Pac-10 performers were named as Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award candidates, joining a list of 28 other players. The list will be narrowed down to 11 midway through the season.

The Stanford women’s basketball team tips off its season on Nov. 14 when it hosts perennial powerhouse Rutgers at Maples Pavilion.
