"Kodak is proud to partner with the WBCA in honoring the best women’s collegiate players as Kodak All-Americans," said Bud Danker, Director and VP for Brand and Market Development at Kodak. "We acknowledge the accomplishments of these student athletes and the positive recognition they bring to their schools, their communities, and the game."

"The Kodak/WBCA All-America program is one of our most prized possessions," said Beth Bass WBCA Chief Executive Officer.
