Yvonne Ejim was one of Gonzaga’s brightest lights this season. There were high hopes and high expectations for Ejim entering the year. She managed to exceed them.
Ejim came on last season as a sophomore and produced just a tick over 10 ppg while coming off the bench, but she took a massive step forward in becoming a star over the recently-completed campaign as a full time starter. Ejim averaged 16.7 ppg and 8.3 rpg despite being the focal point of opposing teams’ game plans as a junior. Her tenacity was impressive, and it will be exciting to see what she does for an encore next year, or scary if you are another WCC team.
