Nestor in frame for All Star Game

University of North Texas women’s basketball forward Megan Nestor has been named to the Finalist List for the 2026 Lilly Women’s College All-Star Game. The dominant Saint Lucian rebounder will find out in two weeks whether she will compete in the All-Star Game, which will return to national championship weekend on April 4 at Global Credit Union Arena on the campus of Grand Canyon University in Phoenix.

Selected by a panel of national media experts, the All-Star Game features the top senior standouts in women’s college basketball. Only 20 of the 107 players on the Finalist List will ultimately be selected to participate in the game, which is scheduled to air on ESPN2. Last year’s event saw four All-Americans, six WNBA Draft picks and five WNBA free agent signees compete in front of a sold-out crowd.

In her first season at the Division I level, Nestor has been one of the country’s most dominant inside forces, averaging 12.8 points and 14.1 rebounds per game. She leads the NCAA in nearly every major rebounding category and broke both the UNT and American Conference records for rebounds in a season with 464 thus far. Her 21 double-doubles also lead the league, and she is ranked in the top 10 nationally.

Nestor was one of seven players from the American Conference included on the list. She ended the American Conference tournament in the semifinals with a narrow loss to Rice, 71-67. She recorded a team-high 16 points and 10 rebounds with two assists and three steals.
