A pair of Hutchinson Community College
womens basketball team sophomores earned postseason honors as the Jayhawk
Conference and Region VI officials released their awards on Thursday.
Sophomore Amanda Fessenden became the first
Lady Dragon since Brittany Dietz in 2003 to earn first-team honors on both
the All-Jayhawk West and All-Region VI teams. Sophomore Amber Schroer was
honorable mention all-Jayhawk West.
Both players helped the Lady Dragon go 24-8
and tie for the third-most victories in program history.
Amanda Fessenden
The sophomore from Wichita (Maize High
School) earned her place in team history as one of the best players in Lady
Dragon history.
During her sophomore season, Fessenden was
the Lady Dragons leading scorer at 14.8 points and leading rebounder at 7.5
boards per game. She shot 41 percent from the field, but was 25th in the
nation on 3-point efficiency at 39.3 percent.
Fessenden is fifth in the nation in
free-throw shooting at 86.6 percent and is second in made free throws (162)
and attempts (1987). He had four runs of 15 or more consecutive free throws
and established a new team mark with 34 consecutive makes.
She had a season high of 27 points against
Northern Oklahoma-Tonkawa and had four games of 20 or more points. She had a
career-high 15 rebounds two times against Cowley College and Dodge City.
Fess wound up No. 3 in single-season free
throws (162), No. 2 in single-season free-throw percentage (86.6). She had
five of her six career double-doubles this season.
For her career, Fessenden was among the top
10 in several statistical categories:
+ No. 9 in career scoring 865
+ No. 10 in career scoring average 13.5
+ No. 6 in career 3-point goals 109
+ No. 6 in career 3-point attempts 309
+ No. 9 in career 3-point percentage 35.3
+ No. 2 in career free throws 269
+ No. 5 in career free-throw attempts 317
+ No. 1 in career free-throw percentage
84.9.
Amber Schroer
Schroer was the only player at 6-feet this
season. She was solid this season, averaging 6.8 points and seven rebounds
per game. She shot 46.8 percent from the field.
Schroer, a sophomore from Strong City (Chase
County High School), had a season high of 17 points against Socttsdale and
had a career-high 14 rebounds in her final game as a Lady Dragon against
Independence in the Region VI Tournament quarterfinals.
Schroer will be known as one of HCCs best
post defenders in team history.
She became the programs single-game blocked
shots leader with her incredible performance against No. 19 Cloud County on
March 1 in the Sports Arena, where she rejected seven shots against the
Thunderbirds to eclipse the single-game record of six by Derryn Jakobi in
2004.
Schroer finished No. 2 on the Lady Dragon
career blocked shots list with 65 rejections. She had 44 blocks this season,
which is second on the HCC single-season rejection list.
