MONMOUTH, Ill. –Monmouth College women’s basketball player Ashley Yeast (Sciota, Ill./West Prairie) has made history at Monmouth College.

Yeast, a senior, was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District V College Division second team for the third consecutive year, becoming Monmouth’s first three-time honoree.

A seven-time Dean’s List recipient, two-time all-conference and two-time academic all-conference performer, Yeast holds the Fighting Scots’ women’s season rebounding record (315), the single-game record (21) and the women’s career record (937). She is two rebounds from tying the school record for rebounds – men or women. The 6’1 center leads the team in rebounding (167), is second in steals (29) and third on the team in scoring average (12.1 ppg) and led the nation in rebounding last season (315). Her career numbers for rebounds and points (925) means she could become the college’s first player to collect 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds.

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. Only first team all-district athletes are eligible to be placed on the national ballot.

An accounting and business major, Yeast is the daughter of Stephen and Judy Yeast of Sciota.
