SAN BRUNO, Calif. -- Natalie Shields and Nicole Nielsen were selected to the West Coast Conference All-Academic team last week. 

Ten student athletes were selected to the All-Academic Team to mirror the All-Conference Team that was announced on Saturday, November 2, where Shields was also honored.
