Big Ten champ Maryland had three players earn first-team distinctions, more than any other team, with Lexie Brown and Shatori Walker-Kimbrough making the Coaches and Media teams.
Maryland coach Brenda Frese swept Coach of the Year laurels, too, after leading the Terrapins to the third perfect conference season in Big Ten women's hoops history and the first in school annals (men's or women's).
Minnesota's Amanda Zahui B., who averaged 18.5 points, 12.7 rebounds and four blocks per game, was the lone unanimous first-teamer on both teams. Michigan State's Aerial Powers and Ohio State's Kelsey Mitchell were unanimous picks on the Coaches Team.
Speaking of Mitchell, she was the lone unanimous superlative winner, receiving very Freshman of the Year vote.
See both teams below.
