Youngstown State junior forward Brandi Brown has been named Preseason First-Team All-Horizon League by collegesportsmadness.com in the website’s conference preview.

Brown (Pomona, Calif.) was the Horizon League’s scoring champion last season as a sophomore when she averaged 19.9 points. She was joined on the first team by Preseason Player of the Year Julie Wojta from Green Bay, UIC’s Jasmine Bailey, Detroit’s Yar Shayok and Cleveland State’s Shalonda Winton.

Milwaukee’s Sami Tucker, Loyola’s Monica Albano, Wright State’s Molly Fox, Green Bay’s Sarah Eichler and Cleveland State’s Destinee Blue appeared on the preseason second team.

Brown is coming off one of the best seasons in school history. She was named Second-Team All-Horizon League as she became just one of three YSU players to ever win a conference scoring title. In addition to averaging 19.9 points overall, Brown averaged 22.6 points during league play. The second-ranked scorer in conference games averaged 19.0 points.

Brown scored 597 points in 2010-11, which was the fifth-highest single-season total in school history. She has scored 939 points in her first two seasons on campus, and she needs 61 to become the 17th player in school history to reach 1,000 career points.

Brown will likely receive more preseason praise on Oct. 19 when the Horizon League’s preseason poll of coaches, sports information directors and media members is released.
