 MONMOUTH,
Ill. – For the second year in a row, Monmouth College women’s
basketball player Ashley Yeast (Sciota, Ill./West Prairie) has been

Yeast, a junior center, was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic
All-District V College Division second team.

rebounding category and is third on the team in scoring (253) and

their career.
The ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District V team is voted on by
sports information directors from District V, which includes
Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin and two Canadian provinces.
Athletes must earn a minimum 3.20 cumulative GPA, have achieved at
least sophomore status at their respective school and be a starter
or key reserve in order to be nominated for the post-season honor.
