RUSTON - Louisiana Tech's dynamic inside duo of Amisha Carter and Trina Frierson have been causing Lady Techster opponents headaches all year long.

On Tuesday the two senior forwards were both named to the 2004 Associated Press Women's All-American honorable mention team.

Heading into this weekend's Mideast Regional, Carter, who was named the 2004 Western Athletic Conference Player of the Year, is averaging 17.2 points, 10.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game for Tech while recording 17 double doubles on the year. The Oakland, Calif., native has shot 52 percent from the field while leading the Lady Techsters in scoring 14 times.

Frierson, already named a finalist for the Naismith National Player of the Year Award, is averaging 16.0 points and 6.8 rebounds per game while hitting 51 percent of her field goals and 72 percent of her free throws. The Vicksburg, Miss., native has scored over 1,500 career points in her Lady Techster career.

Despite not making any of the five-man first three teams, Carter did receive one first place team vote.
