Kansas senior point guard Angel Goodrich was named to the preseason all-Big 12 team, the conference announced Wednesday.

Goodrich — a Tahlequah, Okla., native — averaged 14 points and an NCAA-leading 7.4 assists per game last season in helping the Jayhawks to a Sweet 16 appearance.

“I’m really excited for Angel and I have so much respect for the coaches in our league and for them to tip their hat to her is quite an honor,” KU coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “This league has such elite players and for Angel to be recognized as one of the top-five players in our conference is a testament to the work she has put in and just how talented she is.”

KU senior forward Carolyn Davis also was named preseason all-Big 12 honorable mention.
