Neal, a guard, was also named all-region and all-conference after finishing her second season as a Buc averaging 11.5 points, six assists, four rebounds, and 1.72 steals per contest.
Kincade was named the region’s Defensive Player of the Year after anchoring a stellar Blinn defense which allowed just 55.7 points per game. The second-year forward averaged 5.8 rebounds, including three defensive boards per outing, and posted 1.25 steals. She also recorded 13 total blocks while serving as one of Blinn’s best on-ball defenders and basket protectors. Kincade is the first Blinn women’s player to win the region’s DPOY award.
Blinn has competed in intercollegiate athletics since 1903 and captured 50 national championships since 1987.
