The WKU women’s basketball is heading into their postseason conference tournament with some major individual awards to go along with their number-one seeding.
Conference USA announced Monday that WKU senior Chastity Gooch was named Player of the Year, after averaging over 17 points and 7 rebounds a game.
Sophomore Kendall Noble was named conference Defensive Player of the Year after setting a WKU record for steals in a season.
Michelle Clark-Heard was named conference Coach of the Year for leading the Lady Hilltoppers to a 27-4 record.
The awards were voted on by the league’s head coaches, a media member representing each school, and each school’s sports information director.
WKU plays Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Conference USA tournament, against the winner of Wednesday’s game between Charlotte and Marshall.
