Kelsey Plum is first Husky named to Wooden All-America team

Washington junior guard Kelsey Plum was one of 10 players selected Tuesday to the John R. Wooden All-America team, the first UW women’s basketball player to make that team.

Plum is third nationally in scoring at 26.3 points per game, behind Wagner’s Jasmine Nwajei (29.0) and Minnesota’s Rachel Banham (28.6). If Plum’s 26.3 points hold up, it would be a Pac-12 single-season record.

The No. 7 seed Huskies will play in their first Final Four on Sunday against No. 4 seed Syracuse, also in the Final Four for the first time. Tipoff is set for 5:30 p.
