Edwards and Holley are two of just 20 players from across the nation chosen to participate in the fourth annual event, which celebrates the top graduating seniors in Division III women's basketball. The All-Star Game will be held March 21 at Roanoke College in Salem, Virginia, during the NCAA Division III Women's Basketball Final Four weekend.

As a team captain and four-year leader for the Regals, Holley has played a pivotal role in guiding Cal Lutheran throughout her career, serving as the steady presence at point guard while contributing on both ends of the floor.

Edwards started all 28 games, and led CMS in scoring, rebounding and steals. She was a first-team All-SCIAC selection, and earned the SCIAC Tournament Most Outstanding Player honor after leading the Athenas to their first league title since 2017. She had 23 points, 11 rebounds and five steals in the championship game, and broke a CMS record for most free throws without a miss by shooting 14-14 at the foul line. 

The WBCA all-stars were chosen by a committee composed of head women's basketball coaches of NCAA Division III programs, all of whom are members of the WBCA. All players were nominated by WBCA member coaches.

The three-day All-Star weekend will include practices, leadership programming, community events, and the showcase game itself. The All-Stars will also attend the NCAA Division III national semifinals and championship game as part of the weekend's festivities.
