3/3/2026 11:03:00 AM | Women's Basketball
SAN BRUNO, Calif. - Saint Mary's junior forward Abigail Shoff was named to the All-West Coast Conference Honorable Mention list for her first career all-conference selection, the WCC announced on Tuesday.
Shoff has emerged as the Gaels' women's basketball team's go-to scorer over the last two months of the regular season, seeing her average climb to a career high 9.6 points per game. Shoff had a streak of nine consecutive double-digit scoring games come to an end against Washington State last week in the conference season finale. During that streak, Shoff matched her career high twice with 19 points against both Pacific and San Francisco.
Going into the Credit Union 1 WCC Women's Basketball Championship, Shoff is shooting 41% from the field while averaging four rebounds and nearly a steal and assist per game. Additional season highs for the junior guard include four assists, four steals, eight rebounds and three three-pointers made including a game-tying three to help force overtime in the Gaels' home finale against San Francisco.
