COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Senior Kaila Charles of the Big Ten champion Maryland women's basketball team earned All-America honors for the second straight year from the Associated Press Thursday.
 
Charles, who was named to the Third Team, earned Honorable Mention honors last season. This year, she led the Terrapins with 14.3 points and 7.3 rebounds as they earned a record of 28-4 and won 17 straight games to end the season. Charles helped lead the Terps to their fifth Big Ten championship in six years and their fourth Big Ten Tournament title.
 
Charles finished her career with 1,984 points, which is No. 6 on Maryland's all-time list. She grabbed 930 career rebounds, which was also in the top 10 of the Terrapin record books. She started in every game of her career and tied Alyssa Thomas' school record with 135 career starts.
 
Charles garnered unanimous All-Big Ten First Team honors for the second straight year as well. She was named a semifinalist for the Citizen Naismith Trophy earlier this month, as well as to the watch lists for the Wooden Award, the Wade Trophy, the Cheryl Miller Award and the Senior CLASS Award.
 
Last season, Charles also earned All-America honors from the WBCA (Honorable Mention) and the USBWA (Third Team).
