Villanova star forward Maddy Siegrist was today named a WBCA Coaches All-American, in addition to earning a spot on the John R. Wooden All-American Team. She is one of 10 players who garnered WBCA acclaim and one of five players to be named to the Wooden Team.
 
Siegrist will travel to Los Angeles next week for the 47th annual presentation of the John R. Wooden Award Presented by Wendy's Gala where the Wooden Player of the Year will be announced.  
 
Siegrist led Villanova to a 30-7 overall record and a spot in the Sweet 16 this season by leading the country in scoring at 29.2 points per game to go with a 9.2 rebounds per contest average. She shot 51.0 percent from the field (403-of-790), 36.1 percent from three-point range (52-of-144) and 85.8 percent from the foul line (223-of-260). 
 
She scored 20 or more points in all 37 games this year, including 17 games of 30 points or more. The 37 consecutive 20-point game stretch is the longest streak by any women's or men's D-1 player this century. Her best effort of the season came against Seton Hall on Feb. 11 when she tallied 50 points on 20-of-26 shooting.  
 
She became the all-time leading scorer in the history of Villanova basketball this season for both men and women and finished her illustrious career with 2,896 points. She also became the all-time leading scorer in BIG EAST Conference history for men and women with 1,693 points for regular season conference games only.
 
Siegrist has been named the BIG EAST Player of the Year for a second consecutive season and she has earned first team All-American honors from the Associated Press and USBWA.
