FOREST, Va. --- Bridgewater senior forward Jordan Burkholder added to her awards resume over the past week with a pair of postseason honors.  The 2011 ODAC Player of the Year was named to the All-South Region First Team by D3hoops.com, and later earned selection to the 2011 State Farm Coaches' NCAA Division III All-America Honorable Mention Team by the Womens Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA).
