San Diego State junior guard Courtney Clements has been named an honorable mention All-American. She is the first Aztec honored since the Associated Press began the awards for women’s basketball in 1995.

She joins recent standout Jené Morris, who was a honorable mention State Farm Coaches’ All-American in both 2009 and 2010, and Falisha Wright, who was a two-time honorable mention pick by the coaches in both 1993 and 1994.  Chana Perry was the Aztecs’ first All-American, earning first-team accolades in 1989.
