Junior point guard Sam Logic was named a Women’s Basketball Coaches Association All Region 6 selection on Tuesday evening, hours before the team took on Louisville in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. 

The Racine, Wis., native is one of 52 candidates from around the nation who are under consideration for one of the 10 spots available for the Division I Coaches’ All-America Team, which will be announced April 5 during the Final Four in Nashville. 

Logic is the first member of the Iowa women’s basketball program to earn the honor since former guard Kachine Alexander was selected in 2010 and ’11. Logic led the Big Ten in assists and averaged 13.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 7.6 assists throughout the season. 

“Sam is very deserving of this recognition,” Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder said in a release. “She is a great leader and one of the most consistent players in the country. She is a triple-double waiting to happen every time she takes the court.”
