TAMPA - Andrea Smith's superb senior season has earned her WBCA All-Region honors.

The guard from Lakeland, Fla., is now a nominee for WBCA Division I Coaches' All-America team that will be announced at 2:10 p.m. on Saturday, April 6 during the NCAA Women's Final Four Super Saturday festivities in New Orleans.

Smith is averaging a team-leading 16.5 points per game heading into USF's first NCAA tournament appearance since 2006. Smith finished third in the Big East in scoring while starting in all 31 games this season and passed the 1,000-point mark as a Bull during the conference tournament.

Smith will look to extend her double-digit scoring streak to eight games 6:30 p.m. Saturday when the Bulls face Texas Tech in the first round of the Spokane Regional in Lubbock, Texas.
