Carly Benson named to Third Team All Big 10 Team by Coaches

In addition to Benson, Jessica Minnfield, and Krista Phillips received honorable mentions. Krista Clement was named Michigan's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award honoree. From mgoblue.com:

Junior Carly Benson (Carney, Mich./Carney-Nadeau Public School) of the University of Michigan women's basketball team was named to the All-Big Ten Conference third team by the league coaches Monday (March 3). Benson also received honorable mention recognition from the 22-member media panel along with junior Jessica Minnfield (Toledo, Ohio/Central Catholic HS) and sophomore Krista Phillips (Saskatoon, Saskatchewan/Aden Bowman Collegiate HS). Minnfield was also given an honorable mention nod by the coaches.

Benson is the first Wolverine to be selected to an All-Big Ten team since 2005, when Tabitha Pool (2002-05) was named to the third team by the coaches. Benson becomes just the 12th player in the 35-year history of the program to earn an all-conference accolade.

Benson, Minnfield and Phillips are Michigan's first All-Big Ten honorable mention student-athletes since 2004, when Pool was chosen by the media.

Congratulations to all four.
