Rachel Banham has cemented her legacy as one of the all time Minnesota Women's Basketball greats. Earlier this evening, the Big Ten officially announced that Rachel was named Big Ten Player of the Year!
It's a well deserved honor for the senior guard, who set or tied multiple Minnesota, Big Ten, and national stats records this season. In addition to being named POTY, Banham was also a unanimous 1st Team B1G selection for both the media and the coaches. On more than one occasion, Rachel carried the Gophers to a victory and while an NCAA tournament birth is still a question mark this season has been an enjoyable one all the same thanks to her amazing play.
