SPOKANE, Wash. – After just recently being named West Coast Conference Player and Defensive Player of the Year again, fifth year Yvonne Ejim has been selected as an AP All-American Honorable Mention for the second-straight season, the outlet announced Wednesday.

Ejim, a second-time honoree, was recently voted the WCC's Player and Defensive Player of the Year for the second year in a row after another standout regular season where she led the West Coast Conference in points (642), points per game (20.7), rebounds (270), rebounds per game (8.7), field goals (244), and double-doubles (11). She was also second in the conference in field goal percentage (.527) and free throws made (143), and eighth in the league in blocks per game (1.0). Ejim ranks ninth nationally in points and 15th in the country in points per game. Ejim ranks second in West Coast Conference history in career scoring in all games (2,301) and conference games (1,223). She also ranks fifth in WCC history (all games) with 1,085 career rebounds. Ejim is the first Gonzaga player to win back-to-back WCC Defensive Player of the Year. She is also the first player to win WCC Player of the Year back-to-back since Courtney Vandersloot. 
 
Ejim is the eighth Zag to earn Associated Press All-America accolades and just the second to earn it multiple times. She joins Shannon Mathews (2005), Stephanie Hawk (2007), Courtney Vandersloot (2009, 2010, 2011), Haiden Palmer (2014), Jill Townsend (2021), Jenn Wirth (2021), and Kaylynne Truong (2023), all of whom were all selected honorable mention during their respective seasons.
