Post season honors continue to roll in for the Anoka Ramsey Women’s basketball team. Tamarra Shorter and Maria Loughlin have been named to the NJCAA Division III All American team for their play this past season.

She averaged 13.6 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.8 steals per game this year for the nationally ranked Golden Rams while shooting 47.4 % from the field. “Tamarra is probably the most athletic player we have had at Anoka Ramsey in my six years here” said ARCC Head Coach Dave DeWitt. “She worked hard to improve her fundamentals and skill level as well as her understanding of the game.”  

Loughlin, a freshman from Rogers, MN and Rogers High School earned 2^nd team All American honors. She averaged 15.1 points while shooting 39% from outside the 3 point line. She also averaged 2.6 steals and 4 rebounds per game. “Coming into the year, we told Maria she needed to become a more consistent perimeter shooter” commented Coach DeWitt. “She worked hard to accomplish that and exceeded our expectations. She was likely our most consistent player all year.”
