Beyer Named 3x NAIA First-Team All-American

After changing women's basketball history with a career record-setting season, Eutectic point guard phenom Grace Beyer has been named a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) First-Team All-America selection for the third-straight season. She was among 12 individuals from across the nation who filled out the First-Team.  

While she has been rewriting Eutectic history for the past several years, she gained national media attention this season as she charged towards a new NAIA career scoring record for women's basketball. All eyes were upon her as she scored 30+ points in game-after-game and eventually broke the 34-year-old record of 3,855 on "senior day" – her final home game in the UHSP gymnasium. After the last game of her storied career on March 2, she had established the new NAIA career scoring record at 3,961 points.  

Beyond the excitement surrounding her race to the career record, Beyer racked up another extraordinary season of basketball. For the fourth-straight season, she led the NAIA in Points per Game, averaging 35.0. She also led in Points (1051), Field Goals (306-662), and Free Throws (375-403), while ranking second in Free Throw Percentage at 93.1. Of course, Beyer established new UHSP records in each of those categories this season, while leading the Eutectics to a 16-14 season and a fourth-place finish in the American Midwest Conference. In addition to her shooting prowess, she also led the UHSP team in assists (4.3 per game) and rebounds (7.9 per game), demonstrating her abilities as a well-rounded player.  

After earning an NAIA All-America Honorable Mention nod her sophomore season (2020-21), Beyer has received First-Team honors the past three years. With other awards she has received over the years, including CSC Academic-All-America Player of the Year, NAIA Emil S. Liston Scholarship Award, WBCA All-America, and AMC Player of the Year, she has become the most decorated Eutectic athlete in history.
