MARQUETTE, Mich. –
Jacy Weisbrod and
Sarah Newcomer have been named to the All-GLIAC First Team, while
Sydney Whitehouse was also recognized as the GLIAC Sixth Woman of the Year, the conference announced Friday.
Weisbrod closed the regular season as one of the nation's most dangerous perimeter scorers, leading the GLIAC at 16.8 points per game. Her 103 made three-pointers rank first among all Division I and Division II players, while her 3.43 makes per game sit second nationally. She is shooting 40.7% from beyond the arc, third-best in the conference. The senior scored 20 or more points in 12 games and made at least four triples 15 times. She also connected on multiple three-pointers in 23 of 30 contests and surpassed 1,000 career points in a victory over Davenport, becoming the 29th player in program history to reach the milestone. She scored a career-high 33 points on Dec. 17 to guide NMU to an 83-77 victory over Northwood.
Newcomer, a senior from Pewaukee, Wisconsin, provides another potent scoring threat for the Wildcats and lands on the First Team after earning Second Team honors as a junior. She averaged 11.2 points per game during the regular season, second on the team. She ranks inside the GLIAC's top five in both made three-pointers per game (2.4) and three-point percentage (38.0%), and her 73 made triples place her among the top 30 nationally. Newcomer had two games with seven made threes, including a career-high 27-point performance in a 74-46 win at Michigan Tech on Jan. 8.
Whitehouse earns Sixth Woman of the Year honors after appearing in all 30 games off the bench. She averaged 9.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists, and 0.6 steals while shooting 41.3% from the floor. She ranked third on the team with 57 offensive rebounds and reached double figures 13 times, including nine of the final 12 games of the regular season. She scored a career-high 21 points against Purdue Northwest on Jan. 22 and becomes the second straight Wildcat to claim the conference's Sixth Woman of the Year award, joining
Abi Fraaza.
