CLEVELAND – Veronica Walker added to her plethora of postseason 2009-2010 awards and honors as she was named a Second Team All-American by the Women's Division II Bulletin on Monday.

She led the Gulf South Conference in four statistical categories – scoring, rebounding, blocked shots per game (1.29) and field goal percentage (.650). She was the only player from the South Region named to either the First or Second Team by the Division II Bulletin.

This is the second All-America honor that Walker has received, as she was named a DakTronics First Team All-American last week. Walker's dominance throughout the season also earned her the GSC West Division Player of the Year award.

In addition to leading the GSC, Walker was the national Division II leader in field goal percentage. She also ranked in the top 11 in scoring and blocked shots per game.
