PLUS: Two other Golden Eagles earn recognition for their play from the league's coaches.
The Big East announced their postseason women's basketball awards on Wednesday, and Marquette's name was featured heavily in the press releases. The biggest headline for MU fans was the least surprising item that the league announced, and that's Allazia Blockton being named Freshman of the Year.
The Milwaukee native was named Freshman of the Week on a national level twice this season, and earned the same honor from the Big East on seven different occasions, more than any other rookie. She leads all Big East freshmen in scoring and rebounding, and on top of all of that, Blockton broke the Big East's 21 year old freshman scoring record with 337 points in Marquette's 18 league games this season.
