Naz Hillmon makes UM women's history as first-team AP All-American

Naz Hillmon and the Michigan women's basketball program sure like breaking new ground.

Hillmon, a senior forward who earlier this year became the first Michigan basketball player, man or woman, to score 2,000 points and collect 1,000 rebounds, has been named a first-team All-American by the Associated Press. She's the first first-team AP All-American in the program's history. She was second-team AP last year.

"This is such an incredible honor for Naz to be recognized as one of the top players in the country," head coach Kim Barnes Arico said in a statement. "She obviously makes such an impact on the court for our program and has helped elevate Michigan women's basketball.
