Pili, who averaged 16.2 points and 8.1 rebounds per game, is first conference freshman of the year since Briana Gilbreath in 2009 and the program’s fifth overall. The 6-foot forward was the only freshman named to the All-Pac-12 team after helping the Trojans (16-13, 8-10 Pac-12) rebound from an 0-5 start in conference play to finish with the No. 7 seed in the Pac-12 tournament, which begins Thursday in Las Vegas.
