LSU senior forward LaSondra Barrett has been named to the Coaches’ All-Southeastern Conference First-Team for the second consecutive season, the SEC announced Wednesday.
Barrett joined seven other players on the first team, but she was the only LSU player on the list. LSU has now had a first-team All-SEC women’s basketball player for nine straight seasons.
“She has been unbelievable for us because there are not too many players in the women’s game that can play one through five,” said LSU head coach Nikki Caldwell in a news release. “She can play every position on the floor, and she can defend every position on the floor.”
Barrett currently ranks No. 10 in the SEC in scoring with 12.7 points per game, No. 5 in rebounding with 7.2 rebounds per game and No. 6 in free throw percentage at 72.4 percent.
The Jackson, Miss., native ranks No. 2 in LSU history in career free throws (460), No. 13 in points (1,486) and No. 11 in rebounds (780). Barrett and former players Seimone Augustus and Cornelia Gayden are the only three players in school history to have accumulated 1,400 career points, 700 rebounds, 200 assists and 100 steals.
