4/5/ 2004

Olivia Zurek has averaged 231 rebounds in each of the last two seasons. She would set the career record with 210 next season.

LEWISTON, Maine – Junior forward Olivia Zurek has been selected as a First Team 2004 ECAC Division III Women's New England Basketball All-Star.

Zurek '05 (Arlington, Mass.) was earlier honored as a First-Team All-NESCAC and D3hoops.com Third-Team All-Northeast selection after leading the conference in scoring with 15.6 points per game this season. She ranked 34th nationally in field goal percentage, hitting over 53% of her shots, was third in the conference in steals and sixth in rebounds per game.

Zurek helped lead Bates to the NESCAC Championship final for the second consecutive year, leading the Bobcats back from a 30-11 halftime deficit to force overtime, before finally bowing to top-ranked Bowdoin, 51-47.

The Bobcats finished the 2003-04 season 19-8 and tied for second in the NESCAC with a 7-2 conference record.
