Current Lady Rebels, senior Brandy Mack (Akron, Ohio) and sophomore Katy Nailen (Birmingham, Ala.), were named to the prestigious group as well as former Lady Rebels Dawn Dickerson, Cathy Prior, Kelly Gable and Lauren Beaulieu.
The seven Rebels making the grade were sophomores Matt Carter (Marietta, Ga.), Jim Morrison (Jackson, Miss.) and Walt Sligh (Canton, Miss.), along with juniors Ben Chisman (Cape Girardeau, Mo.), Marcus Christofferson (Homedale, Idaho) and Dominik Fuhrmann (Dusseldorf, Germany), and senior Aaron Fenzel (Grafton, Ohio).
