I can't understand how anyone didn't vote for Mikayla Blakes first team? It was either Sarah or Mikayla for player of the year. The voters are a mystery every year. Also, I noticed the Hidalgo received more first place votes but 5 less total votes which probably says that Azzi had all first and second team votes but HH probably had some third place votes that pulled down her total.

Sarah was the only unanimous choice this year. My memory may fail me, but haven't we had multiple unanimous choices in recent years?

 

[Gus Mahler]

This is some kind of sophomore class.

I’m kinda surprised that KK didn’t get honorable mention. Great assist to TO ratio and great defensive player.

 

[Gus Mahler]

I’m kinda surprised that KK didn’t get honorable mention. Great assist to TO ratio and great defensive player.

I was hopeful. Maybe next year (or higher).

 

[fomalhaut]

I'm thrilled to see Azzi make first team. I think she's the second-best player in the country.

I’m kinda surprised that KK didn’t get honorable mention. Great assist to TO ratio and great defensive player.

While KK has a stellar defensive game, I think it will be difficult to crack any of the All-American teams without double-digit points-per-game on the offensive side of the ball. It will be interesting to see continued growth in that area next year.
