Women's Division-II Bulletin Newsletter
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Nova Southeastern women’s basketball player
Danielle Robinson (Fr., Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) has been selected to the Women’s Division-II Bulletin All-America Freshman team, as announced in the Bulletin’s April 2012 newsletter.
Robinson, who was already selected as the Sunshine State Conference Freshman of the Year, was the only conference player selected to the all-freshmen team. Fellow SSC members, Michaela Hawley of Florida Southern was selected as a Second-Team All-American, while Briaunna Hagins of Florida Tech garnered honorable mention accolades.
“Our coaching staff and our players are excited to hear that Danielle was recognized as a member of the Women’s Division-II Bulletin All-American Freshmen team,” commented head coach LeAnn Freeland. “She is very deserving of the recognition due to her team-first mentality and work ethic. Hard work certainly has already paid off for Danielle early in her career and we look forward to watching her grow over the next three years.”
Robinson, who started 26 games this season, made an immediate impact this season for the Sharks, averaging 13.2 points per game, sixth best in the SSC during the 2011-12 season. Her shooting range was showcased all year long as she became only the third player in program history to tally 60 made 3-pointers in a single season. Her 36.6 percent conversion rate from beyond the arc was the fourth-best single-season mark in NSU history.
She was also a force on the glass and defensively for the Sharks. Listed at 5-8, Robinson snared 107 rebounds, 42 of which came on the offensive end of the floor for NSU. Robinson, a high-intensity defender, also recorded 34 steals this season.
