AMES, Iowa – Ashley Joens made it three-for-three on making the major women’s basketball All-America teams for a second straight season, as the Iowa State star was named to the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-America Team on Thursday.

Joens made the 10-person team for the second-straight season, becoming the first player in ISU history to make the WBCA All-America squad multiple times. She earned four All-America nods from the WBCA in her career, adding honorable mention honors in 2019-20 and 2020-21 in addition to the past two seasons.

These honors are in addition to the previously announced honors from two weeks ago of being a USBWA Second Team All-American and an Associated Press Third Team All-American.

The Iowa State record books were rewritten by Joens, who will leave ISU as the career record holder for points (3,060), rebounds (1,391), games played and started (158), field goals (988), 3-pointers (344), free throws (740), double-doubles (65) and points per game (19.4). Her career points total ranks ninth in NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball history, while games played and started are both Big 12 records.
