Junior Alyssa Ustby has earned Academic All-District women's basketball recognition, as announced this week by the College Sports Communicators. The award recognizes outstanding performance both athletically and academically.

Ustby, from Rochester, Minn., is majoring in communication studies with a minor in business administration and was named to the Dean's List for the fall 2022 semester.

On the court, she ranks among the Atlantic Coast Conference leaders in field goal percentage (.518), rebounding (8.8, 4th), blocks (1.3, 9th), steals (1.9, 10th) and scoring (13.4, 13th). Earlier this season she was named a top-10 finalist for the Cheryl Miller Award, which goes to the nation's top small forward, and was honored as USBWA National Player of the Week.
