Holmes garnered All-America Honorable Mention accolades for the third time in her career. She was named AP All-America Honorable mention in 2014 and 2016, as well as Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-America Honorable Mention in 2015. Last week, Holmes was named to the WBCA All-Region 3 team for the second time in her career.

 

The New Haven, Connecticut, native led West Virginia with 16.8 points and 3.7 assists per game. Holmes tallied 589 points and grabbed 145 rebounds in 35 contests. She became the first Mountaineer to score 500 or more points in three consecutive seasons.

 

With her 21 points against Ohio State on March 20, Holmes became the third Mountaineer in program history to reach the 2,000-point plateau. A three-time unanimous All-Big 12 First Team selection, she is the Big 12’s active career scoring leader with 2,001 points.

 

Connecticut’s Breanna Stewart and Moriah Jefferson headlined the 2016 AP All-America first team. Joining the duo on the first team were Ohio State’s Kelsey Mitchell, Minnesota’s Rachel Banham and South Carolina’s A’ja Wilson. UConn's Morgan Tuck was on the second team, along with Nina Davis of Baylor, Brianna Turner of Notre Dame, Tiffany Mitchell of South Carolina and Jamie Weisner of Oregon State.
