MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University women’s soccer defender Kadeisha Buchanan has been named the 2016-17 Big 12 Female Athlete of the Year, as announced today by the conference office.
The Brampton, Ontario, native is the first Mountaineer student-athlete to earn the prestigious conference honor since WVU joined the Big 12 in 2012.
“It’s only fitting that Kadeisha Buchanan is the first WVU student-athlete to win the Big 12 Athlete of the Year award,” Mountaineer women’s soccer coach Nikki Izzo-Brown said. “She took our standard of excellence to a whole new level, and I am so proud of everything she did for our program, the University and this athletic department during her four-year career.
