Central Oklahoma has had 26 players receive All-America honors a combined 35 times.
Pam Podolec, Gladys Griffin, Kacie Edwards, Hazel Puempel, Jacee Minter, and Terin Ritz are the only multiple All-Americans for the Bronchos.
Griffin was a four-time selection from 1985-88 and Podolec earned back-to-back honors in 1982 and '83 when UCO was an NAIA member.
