Milwaukee, Wis. - Michelle Stelloh (West Allis, Wis.), of the Cardinal Stritch University Wolves women's basketball team, has been named a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) All-American for the first time in her career at Stritch. The junior, who was named an honorable mention selection, was also named All-State by Inside Wisconsin Sports Magazine in the April edition. 

The awards by Stelloh go along with having been named the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference (CCAC) Player of the Year for the first time. She was also named CCAC All-Conference first team for the third straight season.

"Stelloh did a great job for us all season long," head coach Rich Panella said. "She works very hard to be a good player and has developed into one of those game-changing players you love to have in your lineup. We couldn't be more proud of her success and the earning of this recognition."

The reigning conference Player of the Year, led the Wolves in scoring, adding 472 points during the season, while breaking the 1,000 point mark on Feb. 18 against Purdue University Calumet. The junior also led the team in three-pointers made (68), free throws made (56), and steals (67). She was second on the team in rebounding, averaging 5 per game. Stelloh posted her career high during the 2008-09 season, netting 28 points on Nov. 21 against Lindenwood University.

The 5-11 forward was the second top scorer in the conference, averaging 15.2 points per game. She was also second in three-pointers made, sinking 68 throughout the season. The junior was third in steals per game, averaging 2.11, and also was in the top ten in the conference in rebounding, averaging 4.9 boards a game, and blocked shots, with 16 blocks on the season.

Stelloh is a part of a lineup that will return all five starters and will be looking to defend their CCAC regular season and tournament championships in the 2009-10 season.
