Big Ten Preseason Poll and Awards
Junior guard Carlie Wagner has been named to the media's Preseason All-Big Ten Team. She was named to the All-Big Ten Second Team last season and is one of 10 honorees on the media's preseason roster announced by the conference on Monday.
Wagner, a native of New Richland, Minn., is Minnesota's leading returning scoring after averaging 18.9 points per game. She scored in double figures in all 31 of the Gophers' games, including 16 contests with 20 or more points. Wagner combined with 2016 Big Ten Player of the Year Rachel Banham to form the nation's top-scoring duo.
In the Gophers' final game of the 2015-16 season, Wagner became the 22nd career 1,000-point scorer in program history. She was only the fifth to reach that milestone as a sophomore and begins her junior year with 1,004 points.
Wagner ranked third on the team with 5.2 rebounds per game and 82 assists for the season. She played a Big Ten-high 37.8 minutes per game.
Previous conference honors for Wagner include her All-Big Ten Second Team nod from both coaches and media last year, and a spot on the All-Freshman Team in 2014-15.
