Nov. 15, 2006 Nikki Johnson Named Preseason All-American
Pacific Lutheran University women’s basketball standout Nikki Johnson has been selected as a preseason second team All-American by D3hoops.com. Johnson is not only the lone athlete from the Northwest Conference to make the list, she is also the only athlete from the entire West Coast to be selected as a preseason All-American. Johnson is the reigning Northwest Conference MVP. She led the Lutes last season to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Division III national tournament. Averaging 14 points and 9.8 rebounds a game, Johnson helped PLU to a 24-4 record and the conference title last winter, making it the program's fifth crown in the past nine seasons. In those nine season the Lutes have finished no worse then third in the conference. In the NWC preseason coaches poll, the Lutes were picked to defend their title, receiving seven of the nine first-place votes. The season starts for the Lutes on November 17 at the UPS Tip-Off Classic. PLU will play the California Lutheran University Regals at 2 p.m. NWC play begins on the December 1 when the Lutes host the Linfield College Wildcats. - PLU -
