Women's Basketball Chennedy Carter Named All-America By WBCA

TAMPA, Fla. - Texas A&M women's basketball guard Chennedy Carter was named an All-American by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association for the second consecutive season. She is the fourth Texas A&M player to be honored as an All-American twice by the WBCA.

Carter, named an honorable mention, joins Danielle Gant (2007-08, 2008-09), Danielle Adams (2009-10, 2010-11) and Courtney Walker (2014-15, 2015-16) as two-time selections by the WBCA. Carter received at least Honorable Mention All-America by all three major selectors this season.

Carter finished the season averaging a school-record 23.3 points per game, good for eighth-best in the nation. She stepped up her average to an NCAA Tournament-leading 30.7 points during the Aggies' run to their eighth Sweet 16 appearance. She added 4.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game.

During the season, Carter also set Texas A&M records for consecutive 10-plus point games (39), career 20-plus point games (47), career 30-plus point games (11), sophomore season scoring (676) and fewest games to reach 1,000 career points (45).

Carter's season was highlighted by clutch performances that included a game-winning shot at Auburn (Jan. 24), scoring seven of the Aggies' last nine points to win at then-No. 11 Kentucky (Feb. 28), and assisting the go-ahead basket in the NCAA Second Round against Marquette (Mar. 24). In addition, she was named USBWA Second-Team All-America, First-Team All-SEC, SEC Player of the Week twice, and MVP at the Maui Jim Maui Classic.

The Aggies concluded the 2018-19 season with their second straight Sweet 16 appearance and a 26-8 record, the program's best since 2010-11.
