BERKELEY, Calif. - California junior forward/center Devanei Hampton and forward Ashley Walker have been named State Farm/WBCA honorable mention All-Americans.

Hampton, who was chosen a State Farm/WBCA Region 8 All-American for the second consecutive year, has also received her second honorable mention coaches' All-America accolade. This year's team marks the first State Farm Coaches' All-America Team, as Eastman Kodak held the previous sponsorship for 33 years.

This season, she was second on the Bears in scoring (13.5 ppg) and rebounding (8.0 rpg). In Pac-10 games, the 6-3 Oakland, Calif., native was fourth in the conference in scoring (14.3 ppg) and tied for second in rebounding (8.4 rpg).

Hampton is ninth all-time in scoring in school history with 1,301 points.

Walker has earned an assortment of other honors for her play during 2007-08, including State Farm/WBCA Region 8 All-American, honorable mention Associated Press All-American, first-team All-Pac-10 and first-team Pac-10 All-Defensive. The Modesto, Calif., product finished the season first on Cal in scoring (15.3 ppg, 3rd Pac-10), rebounding (9.3 rpg, 1st Pac-10), blocks (1.4 bpg, 3rd Pac-10) and free throw percentage (78.1%, 5th Pac-10) and was second in field goal percentage (51.4%, 4th Pac-10) and steals (1.2 spg). Walker tops the Pac-10 in double-doubles (14) and has 34 for her career.

Walker, a 2007-08 second-team Sports Illustrated All-American, is the only player in school history with at least 1,000 points, 800 rebounds, 200 assists and 100 blocks.
