BLOOMINGTON, Minn. – Sophomore Lexy Harris and graduate Jessica Brooks of the Washington University in St. Louis women's basketball team landed on the D3hoops.com's All-Region 8 teams, as announced by the organization today.

Harris secured a spot on the Region 8 First Team, while Brooks grabbed a spot on the Region 8 Third Team.

This is Harris' second All-Region nod as she was named Third Team a year ago, along with being named the Region 8 Rookie of the Year. 

Brooks' All-Region selection marks the third of her career, as she was Second Team the past two seasons. The pair led the Bears and the UAA in rebounding: Brooks averaged 9.3 rebounds per game, while Harris had 9.2 rebounds per game. The +11.4 rebounds per game as a team ranks ninth in Division III this season.

That week, she also earned U.S. Basketball Writers Association (USBWA) National Player of the Week honors after averaging 29 points and 10.5 rebounds in the WashU wins over Rochester and Emory.

Harris finished fifth in scoring in the conference while ranking second in rebounding. Her field goal percentage was the best in the UAA this season.

Brooks wrapped up one of the best careers in Bears' history, averaging 15.3 points and 9.3 rebounds per game. Like Harris, she finished the season with 10 double-doubles. Her 17 rebounds at Emory on Jan. 26 were a career-high.

For her career, Brooks averaged 14.3 points and 7.0 rebounds over the course of 95 games played.

This season, she was named the 2024 McWilliams Classic Tournament MVP, as well as earning a spot on the All-Tournament Team. She was also twice named the UAA Athlete of the Week, on Jan. 13 and Jan. 27.
