STERLING, Va. — The post-season awards keep raining in for Wilmington College senior Siobhan Zerilla (Cincinnati/Mercy), as she was named to the D3hoops.com All-Great Lakes Region squad. Zerilla was named to the First Team All-Region squad.

Zerilla has also been named a WBCA/Kodak First Team All-American candidate, First Team All-OAC, a unanimous choice for Academic All-OAC and a Josten's Award Finalist.

Players were nominated for these awards by the Sports Information Directors at the various schools. A record 606 players were nominated nationwide. The ballot was then made available to SIDs, who voted for 10 players in their region. SIDs voted for six frontcourt players and four backcourt players and the top vote-getters at each position were named to the All-Region team.

Zerilla ended the 2004-05 season with a scoring average of 11.3 while pulling down 10.9 rebounds per game. She reached the 1,000 point plateau on 12/30 against Marietta and is the school's all-time leading rebounder. Her 305 rebounds on the season is the sixth best single season total in school history, as she holds four of the top six marks. She is also 10th in NCAA Division III in career rebounding, having pulled down 1,330 rebounds in her four-year career.

"We are thankful to the Sports Information Directors across Division III who took the time to nominate and vote to provide broader recognition to these worthy student-athletes," said D3hoops.com publisher Pat Coleman. "Participation continues to grow each year and that only strengthens the team."

Zerilla was joined on the first-team squad by Sara Heitkamp of Capital, Leigh Sulkowski of Washington and Jefferson, Amy Argetsinger of DePauw and Danielle Holbrook of Otterbein.
