Youngstown -- Youngstown State senior women's basketball player Brandi Brown has been named to two impressive preseason lists by CollegeSportsMadness.com.
The website staff named Brown a Preseason Fourth-Team All-American on the All-High Major Teams list last week, and it earlier selected the Penguin as a Preseason First-Team All-Horizon League player.
Brown was joined on the preseason All-America list by fellow Horizon League members Adrian Ritchie (Green Bay), Shalonda Winton (Cleveland State) and Shareta Brown (Detroit). Those four members, as well as Wright State's Kim Demmings, were also on the College Sports Madness preseason first-team all-conference squad.
Brown was voted Preseason First-Team All-Horizon League earlier this month in a poll of the conference's coaches, women's basketball sports information directors and media representatives. She has been named second-team all-conference at the end of each of the past two seasons. Last season she averaged 15.9 points and 9.3 rebounds for the Penguins.
