Second Team

Alyssa Hagen, junior, NRHEG

A solid defender whose length was a big asset. Not the tallest defender at 5-foot-11 but was versatile and worked the trap in the Panthers’ press defense. Finished second on the team in scoring with 9.4 points per game and led the team with 7.5 rebounds a game. Provided a big boost for the offense down the stretch with her play from the high post.

Ciara Christenson, senior, USC

Senior guard that could light it up from behind the arc in a moments notice. Finished second in scoring for the Rebels with 9.6 points per game and was all-conference honorable mention. Scored a team-high 21 points this season and tied a school record with 3-point field goals made in a season with 45. Was second on the team in assists and steals.

Katie Schou, senior, Albert Lea

Schou was deadly from 3-point range in a number of games this season. A player who was able to score in bunches at times. Hit seven 3-pointers on senior night and five in a game against Mankato East and Mayo earlier in the season. Her outside shooting broke down teams that tried to play zone against the Tigers. Averaged 8.1 points per game in her senior year.

Alyssa Sager, sophomore, Albert Lea

After being a post player for most of her career she became the Tigers’ point guard and handled the majority of the team’s offense. Finished second on the team in scoring with 10.6 points per game and shot 36 percent from the field and 71 percent from the line. Led Albert Lea in steals with 42 and was second in offensive rebounds while leading the team in assists.

Taylor Allis, junior, USC

An all-conference guard who tied a single-season assist school record with 113. Led the Rebels in steals with 58. Didn’t put up huge offensive numbers but was the primary ball-handler for USC during the season. Started all 27 games and will be a important returning member of the team next season as it looks to rise in the Gopher Conference.
