Senior guard Natisha Hiedeman said she was in shock after head coach Carolyn Kieger told her she was the 2019 BIG EAST Player of the Year.
“She deserved it,” Kieger said. “She was really consistent all year. She worked really hard on the offseason on her weaknesses and making a lot of adjustments that we asked her to make.”
Back in January, Kieger said Hiedeman was playing at an elite level. With reigning BIG EAST Player of the Year Allazia Blockton out, Hiedeman filled the void and became the team’s leading scorer.
“It gives me a lot of confidence going into games,” Kieger said.
