Gophers senior guard Rachel Banham, limited to 10 games last season because of an ACL injury, was named to the All-Big Ten preseason team by the coaches and media Wednesday.
Banham, who received a medical hardship waiver to play another year, was the only University of Minnesota player on the all-conference preseason teams.
The 5-foot-9 Lakeville native needs 107 points to surpass Lindsay Whalen as Minnesota's all-time leading scorer.
Banham was the Big Ten's preseason player of the year going into the 2014-15 season.
Ohio State sophomore Kelsey Mitchell was named the conference's preseason player of the year by the coaches and media.
