ADA, Okla. - Two weeks removed from being honored on the All-Southeast Region First-Team, Anna Grossheim has been named to the Division 2 Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCCA) 2021 All-American Second Team, officials announced Wednesday. 
 
With the announcement, Grossheim becomes the third player in program history to be named to the distinguished list, but the first since 2008.

The league's freshman of the month selection for the month of October, Grossheim led the league in assists, ranked second in shots (72) and shots on goal (37), and also finished third in the league in total points (30).
