Alyssa Ustby selected to play in the Women's College All-Star Game

Alyssa Ustby will have the opportunity to showcase her talents on the college stage one last time.

The UNC women's basketball star has been selected to compete in the Women's College All-Star Game, presented by Lilly, on Saturday, April 5 in Tampa Bay, Florida. In case you're unfamiliar with the game itself, here's some more information regarding it:

The Women’s College All-Star invites the sport’s brightest stars, who will be exhausting or foregoing their remaining eligibility and are on the precipice of hearing their names called in the WNBA Draft, to have one final opportunity to represent their programs and be recognized against the backdrop of the sport’s championship weekend. Twenty of the top senior standouts from across the country will show off their talents on Saturday, April 5 in Tampa Bay, Florida. Tickets are on sale now for the showcase, which will be televised by ESPN2.

This game serves as another showcase for student-athletes who will be exhausting or foregoing their remaining collegiate eligibility, as is the case with Ustby (who has exhausted her eligibility after five seasons at North Carolina).

Ustby put together a tremendous career in Carolina Blue, as she finishes her career as a Tar Heel as the program's all-time leading rebounder. While her stats tell you just how good she was on the court, there's much more to Ustby than just her legacy as a player, as she's served as a outstanding role model for not only her teammates but for the North Carolina community as a whole.

The Rochester, Minnesota native has made a major impact in the Tar Heels' success, helping guide them to two Sweet 16 appearances during her tenure. A member of Courtney Banghart's first ever recruiting class at North Carolina, Ustby wasn't even ranked among the top 100 players in her class (if you can imagine that!) as she worked incredibly hard to get to where she is today.

For one last time at the college level, Ustby will be able to showcase her high motor and tenacious effort on both ends of the floor. While the court will be filled with some of the nation's top talents, Ustby rightfully belongs among that group, as she has earned the reputation of being considered among the top-tier talent that the sport has to offer.
