Northeast-10 Weekly Notes:

AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL: AIC became the first Northeast-10 school since 1990, and just the second ever, to reach the NCAA Division II women's basketball national championship game with wins over Emporia State (86-79) and Saint Cloud State (70-58) before falling to Grand Valley State 58-52 in the national title tilt. Bentley reached the title game in 1990. Senior Sharmion Selman (Burlington, VT) and junior Krystal Pressley (New Haven, CT) were both named to the Elite Eight All-Tournament team. Selman grabbed her 1,000th rebound in Thursday's win over Saint Cloud and finished her brilliant career with 1,987 points and 1,013 rebounds, good for second in career scoring and fourth in career rebounding. Selman also became the first All-American in AIC women's basketball history when she was named to the Kodak/WBCA squad Tuesday evening. Junior Alissa Rubino (Port Jefferson, NY) set a single-season school record for assists with 153, breaking the old mark of 148 set by Kristen Patterson twice (1998-99, 1999-2000). The 34 games AIC played in this season were a school record, while the 26 victories were the second-highest total in school history behind only 2001-02's 28 wins.
