March 11, 1999
UCLA juniors Maylana Martin and Erica Gomez earned All-American honors in 1998-99 by the Associated Press.
Martin, a 6-3 forward from Perris, CA, was named to the third team for the second consecutive season. The Pac-10 Player of the Year led the Pac-10 in scoring with an average of 18.5 points per game and was second in the league in rebounding (9.3 rpg). Martin, who led the Bruins to its first-ever Pac-10 title this year, has racked up 1,529 career points, eighth-most in school history.
Gomez, a 5-9 point guard from Keyport, NJ, picked up her first All-America nod by AP, earning honorable mention honors. Gomez has been ranked in the Top 10 nationally in assists all season and currently averages 7.0 assists per game. She recently broke Ann Meyers' school record for career assists and now has 555, the fifth-best total in Pac-10 history.
Martin also earned third-team All-America honors by the Women's Basketball Journal for the second consecutive year.
