UPDATE: 10:55 a.m.
For the second consecutive season junior forward Lauren Prochaska has been named the Mid-American Conference's Player of the Year. Prochaska earned the honor after a season during which she averaged 17.6 points and 5.7 rebounds per contest.
"Lauren is the most unselfish superstar that I have worked with during my 20 years of collegiate coaching," coach Curt Miller said.
Prochaska is now the sixth player in conference history to earn the award on multiple occasions, with Ohio's Caroline Mast being the only player to win it more then twice.
The award has also resided in BG since the 2006-07 season when Ali Mann was name Co-MAC P-O-Y and then Kate Achter brought home the award in 2007-08. In the season that Acther won the MAC P-O-Y honors, Prochaska was a freshman and named second team All-MAC.
Joining Prochaska on an All-Conference team is junior guard Tracy Pontius, who was named to the second team.
The MAC Coach of the Year award was also handed out, and Miller did not win for the sixth consecutive season, as the award went to Akron Jodi Kest.
