Idaho State senior Freya Newton shared the Big Sky Conference's honor for best defensive player as the BSC announced its post-season awards for the women's teams. It was an honor well-deserved. Newton was the best defender on what was one of, if not the best defensive teams in the league. The native New Zealander frequently drew the other team's best offensive player in Seton Sobolewski's man-only defense.
Other Bengals honored included shooting guard Estefania Ors named freshman of the year, and Saylair Grandon earning third team all-conference honors. The Bengal women will return every major contributor next year with the exception of Newton, and should be a high-pre-season pick by the coaches and media.
