In addition to her scoring efforts, Young averaged 4.2 rebounds and 2.1 assists per outing. She had a pair of double-doubles, recording a season-best 12 rebounds in USI's win over Truman State University in December.
USI finished the season with a 14-13 mark and went 6-11 in conference play. The Eagles finished fourth in the GLVC West Division, missing the league's post-season tournament by a game.
Quincy University senior guard Jessica Keller was named the GLVC Player of the Year, while Quincy's J.D. Gravina was selected by his peers as the GLVC Coach of the Year. The University of Wisconsin-Parkside's Jadee Rooney was named the GLVC Freshman of the Year.
