Koupal Named McDonald's All-American

Nebraska women's basketball signee Ashlyn Koupal earned one 24 roster spots for the McDonald's High School All-American Game ahead of the NCAA Women's Final Four in Phoenix.

The final rosters for the McDonald's boys and girls All-American games were announced on Monday, Feb. 2. 

Koupal, a 6-3 senior from Wagner, S.D., who is the first McDonald's All-American in school history, claimed one of 12 spots on the West Team. Through games Jan. 30, Koupal was averaging 30.0 points and 15.5 rebounds per game for Wagner Community High School. She has totaled 2,308 points, 1,508 rebounds, 417 assists, 223 steals and 348 blocked shots in her career.

She set the Wagner High School single-game scoring record with a 42-point performance earlier this season and recently broke the school's career scoring record previously held by her aunt, Mandy Koupal, who was a two-time NCAA Division II Player of the Year (2003, 2004) and went on to set the school scoring record at the University of South Dakota (2,142 points) over three seasons in Vermillion. She was inducted into the school's hall of fame in 2014.

Ashlyn Koupal is one six high school players who signed with Big Ten Conference schools during the early period in November to earn spots in the McDonald's All-American Game.

The McDonald's All-American Games will be held at Desert Diamond Arena in Phoenix, March 31. The NCAA Women's Final Four will be held at PHX Arena, April 3-5.
