NORMAN, Okla. - The University of Oklahoma Stacey Dales (Brockville, Ontario) is one of six student-athletes from District VI to be named to the 2001 Verizon Academic All-District Women's Basketball team. Normally five players are awarded this honor but because of a tie in the voting, six players were chosen to represent the district on the Verizon Academic All-America national ballot.

Dales is a communications major who has an overall grade point average of 3.72. The Canadian averages 16.4 points, 7.8 assists and 5.1 rebounds per game for the 22-4 and eighth-ranked Sooners. Her mark for assists per game ranks first in the Big 12 Conference and sixth in the nation. She was been named the Big 12 Conference Player of the Week twice (Jan. 14 and Feb. 19) and is one of 10 finalist for the Conseco/Nancy Lieberman-Cline Step Up and ESPN.com Point Guard of the Year Awards. She also competed on the Candadian Olympic team this past summer in Sydney, Australia.

District VI is comprised of schools from the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. To be eligible for the team student-athletes must be a starter or front line reserve and must have at least a 3.20 overall grade point average. The team was selected by members of the College Sports information Directors of America from District VI.

The Verizon Academic All-America Team for women's basketball will be announced on Thursday, March 10.
