SAN FRANCISCO – In a vote of the league's 12 women's basketball head coaches, Washington's Kelsey Plum was voted the Pac-12 Player of the Year, Oregon's Sabrina Ionescu was named Pac-12 Freshman of the Year and Oregon State's Gabriella Hanson was tabbed the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, the Conference office announced on Tuesday. Additionally, Oregon State head coach Scott Rueck was voted the John R. Wooden Coach of the Year by his colleagues for the second time in three years.
Three different Bruins picked up a total of five postseason honors, including juniors Monique Billings and Jordin Canada each being named to the 15-member All-Pac-12 team. Sophomore Kennedy Burke earned honorable mention All-Pac-12 accolades. Additionally, Canada and Billings were both named to the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team and were two of the three finalists for Defensive Player of the Year.
The Conference Coach of the Year honor was renamed in honor of the late John R. Wooden, former legendary UCLA coach, during the 2010-11 campaign.
The Pac-12 Women's Basketball Tournament takes place this week, March 2-5, in Seattle at KeyArena. Tickets are available for purchase at pac-12.com/tickets.
