Mack only makes third-team AP All-American. 

Jacy Sheldon of Ohio State was second team. That was flip-flopped from the USWBA list: Mack was second team; Sheldon third.

I am also from Maine and a huge Kenzie fan. My favorite BB player of all time now.

Way North, up close to the border, in what they call the County. Kenzie is from Southern Maine.

Nice.  I was in western Maine growing up but then in Portland area.  Been up in the County many times.

She's special on the court and even more special off the court.  Great story from Talia Goodman.

Guess I'm getting to be more of an old softie in my old age. I actually teared up a bit while reading about the kindness Mack showed toward Yarden during her freshman season.

She definitely is special.

You just couldn’t ask for a better representative for the school. She and Grace are the foundation pieces of IUWBB.
