Eureka's Eeten, Spalding's Harrod Tabbed All-Region by D3Hoops.com

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. - Eureka College's Caty Eeten and Spalding University's Kelly Harrod were both named to the D3Hoops.com All-Central Region Team, according to an announcement from the website Wednesday. Eeten, a guard, earned the honor for the second consecutive year and was named to the Third Team. Harrod, a forward, was a Second Team honoree.

Eeten, who was the 2011 D3Hoops.com Central Region Rookie of the Year and a 2012 Second Team selection, turned in another outstanding season for the Red Devils in 2012-13. She earned her second consecutive selection to the All-St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference First Team, leading the league with 22.2 points per game, 179 field goals made, 164 free throws made and a .532 3-point field goal percentage.

Her 3-point field goal percentage of .532 broke Eureka's single-season record among players to make at least one 3-pointer per game over the course of the season. Her 2012-13 totals of 555 points, 164 free throws made and 204 free throws attempted each ranked second in single-season program history, while her marks of 22.2 points per game (third), 179 field
goals made (fourth) and an .804 free throw percentage (seventh) each cracked Eureka's single-season top-10 lists.

Eeten, who received preseason All-America Honorable Mention from D3Hoops.com, was a three-time SLIAC Player of the Week in 2012-13 (Dec. 3, Jan. 28, Feb. 4) and was selected to the SLIAC All-Tournament Team last month.

The 5-foot-10 guard will enter her final collegiate season next November with 1,450 career points, needing only 34 more points to break the all-time Eureka scoring record of 1,483 held by Jessica Reardon (2001-05). She also ranks seventh in SLIAC history and needs an additional 239 points to break the all-time SLIAC scoring record of 1,688 held by Principia's Christina Speer (2005-09).

Eeten already owns the all-time Eureka record in free throws made (455), free throws attempted (559), scoring average (21.3) and 3-point field goal percentage (.404). She also ranks among the all-time program leaders with an .814 free throw percentage (.814), 469 field goals made (fifth), 57 3-pointers made (seventh), 230 assists (ninth) and a .451 field goal percentage (10th).

Harrod, the SLIAC Player of the Year, averaged 18.4 points per game and 10.4 rebounds per game this season, while becoming the Golden Eagles’ all-time leading scorer. Harrod also recorded 15 double-doubles this season ranking her 18th in Division III.

Harrod garnered several awards this season including First Team All-SLIAC, SLIAC All-Defensive Team, SLIAC All-Tournament Team, Franklin College Tip-Off All-Tournament Team, and Amy Hasbrook Memorial All-Tournament Team. She was also a two-time SLIAC Player of the Week (Dec. 17, Jan. 21).

D3Hoops.com divides NCAA Division III women's basketball into eight regions nationwide.

The ballot was then made available to SIDs, who voted for a predetermined number of players in their region.
