The MVC announced Wednesday the All-MVC First Team, All-MVC Honorable Mention, MVC All-Defensive Team, MVC All-Freshman Team, and MVC All-Newcomer Team.
Triton Central graduate Maya Chandler was joined by teammate Sitori Tanin on the MVC All-Freshman Team.
Chandler started all 22 games for Loyola this season and averaged 8.1 points and 2.6 rebounds per contest. She scored a career-best 18 points Saturday in the Ramblers’ regular-season finale – a 60-45 loss to Illinois State.
