Bozek, a graduate student studying business, already received her accounting degree last year in her undergraduate studies and holds a 3.80 cumulative GPA.
On the court, Bozek is the league's fifth-leading scorer with 16.1 points per game, while ranking sixth in blocks (1.0 bpg) and seventh in both rebounding (8.1 rpg) and free throw percentage (.813). She has played in 20 this season, making 19 starts.
Each member of the Division II All-District® teams, 42 in all across the eight geographical districts, advances to the Capital One Academic All-America® Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.
