JACKSON - Less than a month after earning First Team All-MACCC accolades, Northwest sophomore guard
Tierra Trotter has been voted to the 2021-22 NJCAA All-Region 23 team.
Formally announced on Thursday by the MACCC, the All-Region 23 team is made up of 10 of the top women's basketball student-athletes in the region, which includes four Louisiana colleges in addition to the teams in the MACCC.
Trotter was the lone representative from Northwest after leading the Lady Rangers in scoring for the second consecutive season, averaging 16.3 points per game. The Bryant, Ark. native finished with nine 20-point games, including a career-best 29-point performance in an overtime victory at Pearl River during last month's MACCC Tournament. She also earned MACCC Player of the Week honors on February 15 after a pair of 24 and 16-point efforts against Mississippi Gulf Coast and Meridian.
For her career, Trotter finished with an average of 15.7 points per game, putting her seventh all-time in the Northwest record books. She also led the team in steals this season (43), while finishing second in total rebounds (155) and assists (68).
Trotter is the first All-Region 23 selection for the Lady Rangers in two seasons, the last being
Lindsay Hall in 2020. She joins a list that also includes three standouts from NJCAA Final Four participant Jones College and two from Coahoma.
Northwest finished the 2021-22 season with a 15-11 overall record and an 8-6 mark in conference play. The Lady Rangers earned a bid into the NJCAA Region 23 Tournament for the third time in the last three seasons.
