2017 Mar 1

Brooke Trewyn, a native of Whitewater, WI, and graduate of Whitewater High School, is one of three members of the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater women's basketball team to garner All-Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference accolades based on their performances during the 2016-17 season.

Junior guards Malia Smith (Bolingbrook, Ill./Neuqua Valley) and Brooke Trewyn (Whitewater, Wis./Whitewater) earned first team honors, while senior guard Reilly Stewart (Wheaton, Ill./North) was named honorable mention. Smith was also selected to the WIAC All-Defensive Team for the second consecutive season.

All three players helped the Warhawks capture the program's first-ever WIAC Tournament championship and the team's ninth appearance in the NCAA Division III Championship in the last 10 years. UW-Whitewater enters the national tournament with a 22-5 record and finished second in the conference during the regular season with a 10-4 league record.

Trewyn currently leads the WIAC in scoring with 15.0 points per game and leads the team and ranks fourth in the conference with 6.9 rebounds per contest. She also ranks among the top five in the league in assists (62), free-throw percentage (79.3) and steals (48).

Trewyn is a two-time WIAC Player of the Week selection.

Smith, who was an honorable mention all-conference honoree in 2015-16, leads the conference with 74 steals (2.74 per game) and is ninth in scoring at 12.3 points per contest. She also ranks second in the WIAC in free-throw percentage (81.7) and tied for fifth in assists (62). Smith's 40 assists in conference games only rank second in the league.
