With balloting for the Lowe's Senior CLASS Award complete, Princeton's Meagan Cowher (Pittsburgh, Pa.) earned a spot on the second-team Senior All-America, the award's organizers announced this week.

Cowher, Princeton's second-leading scorer all-time and setter of the program's single-season scoring record two years in a row, was named first-team All-Ivy for the third straight year. She won her second straight Ivy League scoring title with 17.7 points per game.

Cowher was chosen earlier in the season as one of 10 finalists nationally for the Senior CLASS Award, which recognizes a student-athlete's contributions in the classroom, in the community and on the court.

Also on the second team were Kentucky's Sarah Elliott, La Salle's Carlene Hightower, Georgia's Tasha Humphrey and George Washington's Sarah-Jo Lawrence. On the first team were award winner Candice Wiggins of Stanford, Sylvia Fowles of Louisiana State, Crystal Langhorne of Maryland, Colorado's Jackie McFarland and Evansville's Rebekah Parker.
