Feels like the senior awards were flipped. I didn't think Emily improved all that much this year, but I can't think of a senior in the region who was better. (Cal's best players are juniors and freshmen, WSU's Bayerlova is a junior, UW's Wong is a junior, SMC's Kozyreva is a junior, etc.) And I will confess I have no idea about the EWU player, but she's not ranked, so not sure how she's the Senior POY in the region over Arbuthnott.
Oh, and Bianca Turati from Texas is not coming back for another year. No word yet on her sister Anna, but that is the first big senior name I can think of that has opted to turn pro or move on rather than come back for the bonus eligibility year.
Miami's Estela Perez-Somarriba is returning.
