2018-19 All-Big Ten Honors and Special Awards
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State women's basketball senior Teniya Page has been named a consensus First Team All-Big Ten honoree, as voted by the conference's coaches and media and announced Monday afternoon. Junior Siyeh Frazier was named a Big Ten Sportsmanship Award Honoree.
Page is the seventh player in program history with three or more first team accolades, and first since Maggie Lucas (2010-14). Page earned second team honors as a freshman before garnering first team plaudits in her final three years in the blue and white, making her a four-time All-Big Ten selection.
Page continued her stellar career in her senior campaign by finishing the regular season averaging 19.4 points, 3.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game. The Chicago native's 19.4 points per contest rank second-best in the Big Ten and 33rd in all of Division I.
Page scored in double-digits in every game this season, and 43-straight games dating back to last season. The guard has tallied 104 career double-digit scoring games. She registered twelve 20-plus point efforts as a senior, seven of which came in Big Ten play.
The consensus first team All-Big Ten honor adds to Page's list of accolades this season, which includes final 10 candidate for the Ann Meyers Drysdale Shooting Guard of the Year award and final 30 candidate for the Senior CLASS award.
A LEAGUE OF HER OWN
Page is the first player in Lady Lion history to eclipse 2,000 career points, 400 career assists and 400 career rebounds. Page currently holds career numbers of 2,094 points, 421 rebound and 413 assists. She was just the second currently active Division I player who has accomplished all three feats.
Page became the sixth-ever Lady Lion to reach the 2,000-career point milestone on Feb. 3 against Iowa. She joined the likes of former Penn State legends Kelly Mazzante (2,919 points), Maggie Lucas (2,510), Susan Robinson (2,253), Tyra Grant (2,044) and Kahadeejah Herbert (2,026) as the sixth member of the 2,000-point club.
Her 2,094 career points are fourth all-time on the Penn State career scoring charts and 14th amongst all active Division I players.
The standout has etched her names into several of Penn State's record books. She ranks second in program history in career minutes per game (35.3), career 30-plus point games (8) and career free throws made (533). Her 18.2 points per game career scoring average is fourth in Penn State history.
