Sandburg’s Kisler, Pieper selected to All-Region 4 team

GALESBURG — Sandburg women's basketball freshman Antonia Kisler was voted to the All-Region 4 Division II first team by the region's coaches, and Chargers sophomore Brook Pieper earned all-region honors for the second straight season.

A 5-foot-9 forward from Galesburg, Kisler turned in a dynamic first season at Sandburg, leading the team with 15.5 points per game and averaging 8.9 rebounds. Kisler played in all 32 games for the Chargers this season, starting 27 times.

Kisler made a team-high 178 field goals on 42 percent shooting, and her 85 percent mark at the free-throw line (100 of 118) ranked fourth among players across all divisions of Region 4. Kisler was 13th in the region in points per game and 11th in total points scored. She also averaged 1.8 assists and 1.8 steals per contest.

Kisler put up a season-high 29 points in Sandburg's Jan. 21 win over Black Hawk, and she helped the Chargers claim their second straight Arrowhead Conference title. Kisler finished the season with 11 double-doubles.

Pieper earned second-team all-region honors for the second year in a row after averaging a double-double with 11.7 points and 10.8 rebounds. The 6-1 forward from Abingdon-Avon High School was one of just eight players in Region 4 to average a double-double this season. She started all 32 games this season and put up a double-double in half of them.

Pieper's 346 total rebounds ranked fourth in the region, and she was seventh in boards per game. Pieper shot 51 percent overall from the field, and she averaged 2.1 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.7 blocks per contest. Her 54 blocks for the season ranked fourth in the region.

Pieper scored a season-high 25 points in Sandburg's Nov. 16 win at home over Madison as she went 12 of 15 from the floor.
