Southwestern Community College Head Women's Basketball Coach Addae Houston received word this week, Spartan sophomore Julanie Carter, of Des Moines, was named First Team All-Region following the 2016-17 basketball season.

The region's nine DII women's basketball coaches vote on first, second, and third All-Region teams.  Voting is based off statistics and performances from the regular season. Coaches cannot vote for their own players.

Southwestern's women had the most wins in a season since 2002 and Carter was a vital part of it.  The sophomore guard earned an average of 17.3 points per game, leading the team.  Carter is 24th in the nation in total points and 31st in points per game.

Joining Carter by receiving All-Region honors were her fellow Spartans:

• Fallyn Beemer, Second Team
