It was a year of firsts for the WSU women’s basketball team, and you can add another: For the first time ever, the Cougs have a player named to the U.S. Basketball Writers Association All-American team.
Charlisse Leger-Walker, the Pac-12 Freshman of the Year, was named honorable mention All-American. Leger-Walker is one of five from the Pac-12 named to an All-American team.
Leger-Walker had a phenomenal freshman season on the Palouse. She became the first freshman to lead the league in points with 452. She was named Pac-12 Freshman of the week five times, which is also a league record.
