Iowa All-Stater Signs National Letter With Maveric
Apr 13, 2006 | Women's Basketball
Alyssa Green, an all-state guard for state runner-up Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Washington High School has signed a national letter of intent to attend the University of Nebraska at Omaha and play basketball for the Mavericks, women's head coach Patty Patton Shearer said today.
Green averaged 15.2 points, six rebounds and 4.4 assists per game for the Cedar Rapids Washington team that finished the season 21-5 under head coach Frank Howell. The 5-9 Green also carries a 3.8 grade point average and has been a four-year member of the school honor roll. She earned first-team all-Iowa honors by the Des Moines Register and the Iowa Girls' Coaches Association and was a first-team all-region pick by the IBCA.
"Alyssa was a leader on a great team that has had a tremendous amount of success over the years," Shearer said. "We are extremely excited to have her as part of the Maverick family. Alyssa can handle the ball, has a knack for scoring and is an exceptional passer. In addition, Alyssa is an exceptional student who tirelessly challenges herself in the classroom."
Green is the daughter of Aaron and Wynetta Green and plans to major in biology and pre-medicine studies at UNO.
She is the sixth high school senior to sign a national letter of intent with UNO. Last fall, the Mavericks signed Ashley Nelson, a 6-4 center from Lincoln Southwest High School; Tara Abbott, a 5-7 guard from Ashland-Greenwood High School; Jill Wolf, a 6-2 forward from Okawville, Ill., High School; Heather Minssen, a 6-1 wing from Underwood, Iowa, High School, and Katie Kane, a 6-1 forward from Highland, Ind., High School.
The Mavericks finished last season 20-11, advancing the North Central Conference post-season tournament semifinal game.
