AZUSA, Calif. -- For their integral roles in helping Azusa Pacific advance to the semi-finals of the NAIA Championship tournament, Jennifer Dao and Kim Tran were named All-Americans.
Dao was tabbed as a first teamer for the third consecutive year while newcomer Tran earned second team honors in her first year as a Cougar.
Dao joined Boris Bakalov as Azusa Pacific players with 3 first team selections. She will return for her senior season in 2007 looking to become the first women’s tennis player to be picked 4 times.
Tran was a stalwart at No. 3 singles and was a key reason why the Cougars reached the national semis. A transfer from UC Riverside, she boosted the depth of the squad and team with Dao to form a potent combination at No. 1 doubles.
Meanwhile, Peggy Bell was tabbed as a 2006 Daktronics NAIA Scholar Athlete for her academic work. Bell, a junior, is majoring in accounting.
“They both played very well this year as did our entire team,” said head coach Mark Bohren. “I’m proud of their accomplishments this season.”
