DePauw women's basketball head coach, Kris Huffman, was named the North Coast Athletic Conference coach of the year for the second straight year this past Monday.
Five of Huffman's players were given NCAC honors as well.
Alex Gasaway, a junior forward, and Kate Walker, a senior point guard, were named to the NCAC first team. Ellie Pearson, a senior forward, and Savannah Trees, a sophomore guard, were both named to the NCAC second team along with Ali Ross, a junior guard, who received an honorable mention.
Last season, Walker was a second team selection, and two years ago in the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference, was an honorable mention. A year ago, Pearson was a second team selection in the NCAC and Ross was a first team selection.
This is Gasaway's first conference distinction.
Huffman has guided her team to the program's first undefeated regular season and is currently tied for the school's longest wining streak with 28 games this season. She earned her 11th conference coach of the year award with the NCAC distinction and third straight after winning it last year combined with her award as SCAC coach of the year two years ago.
The Tigers will host La Roche College on Friday at 7 p.m. in the Neal Fieldhouse for the first round of the NCAA Division III national tournament.
Barry Flynn, on the men's basketball team, was the lone selection by the NCAC to earn post-season honors. The NCAC named the senior forward to the first team, checking in with 15.4 points per game and 6.0 rebounds per game.
The men ended their season last week in the NCAC quarterfinal, a 63-62 loss to Wittenberg University.
