As they lead their team into the opening-round NCAA Tournament game against UNLV, Cate Reese and Sam Thomas were both honored with All-American recognition. Senior forward Reese earned Associated Press All-American honorable mention notice, while Thomas landed on the CoSIDA Academic All-American first team.
The two All-Pac-12 performers have been at the forefront of Arizona’s climb in women’s college basketball. Reese is a three-time All-Pac-12 honoree as well as a member of the 2019 All-Freshman team. Thomas has been All-Pac-12 for the past two seasons and a member of the conference All-Defense team for the past three after landing on the All-Freshman team in 2018.
