Senior Co-Captain Receives Daktronics Women's Basketball Recognition

Senior guard Lucy DeMartin (Mason) of the 2003-04 Ferris State University women's basketball team has been named to the Daktronics Division II Women's Basketball Honorable Mention All-America Team.

The 5-9 DeMartin joined fellow honorable mention selection Jodi Young of Wayne State as the only All-America honorees from a Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) member institution. Three five-member All-America teams were chosen by sports information directors at NCAA Division II schools with 10 other student athletes attaining honorable mention kudos.

DeMartin, who previously attained both first-team 2003-04 Daktronics All-Great Lakes Region and All-GLIAC North Division honors, concluded her career as the school's all-time scoring leader with 1,721 career points. In addition, she posted a school single-season record 567 points this season and received first-team 2003-04 Verizon Academic All-America College Division laurels. DeMartin was also a Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-Great Lakes Region First Team selection, among 40 national finalists for the NCAA Division II Kodak/WBCA All-America Team and chosen as a 2003-04 Division II Women's Basketball Bulletin Honorable Mention All-American.

DeMartin, who ranked as FSU's leading scorer (18.3 ppg) this season, finished her career as the school's leader with 402 made free throws and is listed among Ferris' all-time top 10 performers in field goals (605), steals (198), assists (356), rebounds (415), blocked shots (35), three-point field goals (109), three-point field goal percentage (.344) and free throw percentage (.778).

A 2002-03 Daktronics NCAA Division II All-Great Lakes Region First-Team selection, DeMartin was previously named to the 2003-04 Division II Women's Basketball Bulletin Preseason Super 16 All-America Team and chosen as the publication’s preseason GLIAC Player of the Year. Her team-leading 20.2 points per game scoring average in 2002-03 ranked first among the school’s all-time leaders and placed second in the GLIAC’s overall statistical rankings.

The team co-captain guided FSU to its second-ever NCAA Division II National Tournament appearance this campaign. The Bulldogs, who concluded the year with a 21-10 overall record, compiled a second-place 14-4 GLIAC North Division mark this campaign and finished second in the league's 2003-04 postseason tournament.
