THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Junior forward Alline Ballard of the Cal Lutheran women's basketball team has been named to the D3hoops.com All-America Fourth Team, the organization announced Saturday.

Ballard becomes the program's first D3hoops.com All-American since Lauren Stroot in 2006, marking a historic milestone for the Regals. Notably, she was the only student-athlete from the SCIAC to earn All-America recognition this season.

The honor comes on the heels of a standout 2025-26 campaign in which Ballard established herself as one of the top players in NCAA Division III. She averaged 14.9 points and 11.4 rebounds per game, leading Cal Lu in both categories while ranking among the conference leaders throughout the year. Her dominant performance earned her SCIAC Offensive Athlete of the Year honors.

Ballard recorded 17 double-doubles in 24 games this season, including an impressive 11-game double-double streak spanning from mid-November through early January. Her consistency and impact in the paint made her one of the most difficult matchups in the region.

She also etched her name into the program record book during the season. Ballard surpassed 1,000 career points in mid-January and later became Cal Lutheran's all-time leading rebounder during the SCIAC Tournament Semifinal against Redlands.

Earlier this week, Ballard was named to the D3hoops.com All-Region 10 First Team, making her eligible for All-America consideration. She improved upon her All-Region Second Team selection from a season ago to cap off one of the most decorated individual seasons in program history.

The D3hoops.com All-America teams are selected annually by the organization's staff in consultation with All-Region voting results, recognizing the top players across NCAA Division III.
