Maves was second on the team in scoring (13.1 PPG), which was 14th in the RMAC, and her 33.7 MPG trailed only Schmidt within Western's ranks and was fifth highest in the league.
Making her first appearance with an all-RMAC honor is Eckroth, a junior forward.
She was money from the free throw line for Western, her 84.6% success rate from the stripe the best on the team and third highest in the RMAC. Her steely nerves provided the winning points from the line late in the season in a 59-57 win over visiting Fort Lewis.
