Senior center Dana Thompson (Belleville/Belleville) and freshman guard Kaitlyn Thill (Belgium/Ozaukee) have earned recognition on the 2011 All-Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Team announced Monday, February 28.  Thompson was selected for the first team and Thill was named to the all-defensive squad.

Thompson averaged 16.1 points, second in the WIAC, and 7.7 rebounds, eighth in the league, per game.  She also led the WIAC in field goal accuracy at .595 and was third in blocked shots at 1.56 per contest.

Thompson, who came back after missing most of last season with a broken foot, has etched her name among the most prolific players in UW-W history.  She is sixth in career scoring with 1,140 points, fifth in rebounds with 667, and eighth in blocked shots with 89.  She is number one in career field goal percentage (.574), free throws attempted (635), and free throws made (399).  Thompson's fourteen career double doubles is tied for third in UW-W record book.

Thill was one of five players coaches picked for the WIAC All-Defensive Team.  She led the WIAC with 109 steals, an average of 4.04 per game.  The 109 steals broke UW-W's single season record, set last season by Kelsey Hendrickson at 108.  Thill shattered the single game steal record in her second collegiate game, swiping the ball thirteen times against Wisconsin Lutheran College November 20, 2010.  Thill also contributed 8.3 points and a team best 3.0 assists per game in 2010-2011.

Senior forward Melissa Olsen (Carol Stream, IL/West Chicago Community), UW-Whitewater's representative on the WIAC Sportsmanship Team, started all twenty-seven games for UW-W this season.  Each team in the league picks one player for the Sportsmanship Team, in recognition of a league emphasis on sportsmanship.

UW-Whitewater is 21-6 overall.  The Warhawks, who were ranked in both national polls all season, tied for second place during the WIAC regular season and finished second in the WIAC Tournament.
