WOOSTER, Ohio - The College of Wooster women’s basketball team saw two of its players recognized by the North Coast Athletic Conference Wednesday when the conference released the 2007-08 All-NCAC squads, as voted on by the league’s nine coaches. The Fighting Scots’ selections were headlined by sophomore post Kaitlin Krister (Kent, Ohio/Walsh Jesuit), who found a spot on the second team, and junior guard Meredith Wilson (Washington Court House, Ohio/Miami Trace), who was named honorable mention.

Krister was among the top of the NCAC in several statistical categories, concluding her 2007-08 season second in the league in field-goal percentage (.537, 5th-highest in Wooster history) and blocked shots (1.72 bpg), as well as ranking fourth in scoring (12.8 ppg) and fifth in rebounds (7.1 rpg).

Wilson collected the first postseason honor of her career. She was the Scots’ third-highest scorer and 10th-best in the NCAC at 11.5 points per outing, many of which came via 3-pointers (58-of-165). Those 58 three-point field goals made established a new single-season record, including a new single-game Wooster record of seven (7-of-12) in a 24-point showing against Kalamazoo College as part of a 93-92 double-overtime victory back on December 30. She also grabbed 3.7 boards and dished out 1.3 assists, and shot a team-best .809 (38-of-47) at the free throw stripe.

As a team, the Scots went 6-19 overall under 11th-year head coach Lisa Campanell Komara. Wooster finished in a tie for seventh in the nine-team NCAC with a 3-13 mark. The Scots set new team single-season marks for three-point field goals made (150), three-point field goals attempted (437), and three-point field goal percentage (.343).
