VESTAL, N.Y. – Senior Denai Bowman and redshirt freshmen guards Jadyn Weltz and Ella Wanzer have each earned all-conference honors for the 2022-23 women's basketball season. The announcement was made by the conference office on Tuesday afternoon and the voting was done by the nine America East head coaches – none of whom were permitted to vote for their own team.

Bowman was named both a second-team all-star as well as a member of the All-Defensive Team. Weltz joined Bowman on the All-Defensive Team and was also chosen to the All-Rookie Team. Wanzer, meanwhile, also was named to the All-Rookie Team.

This marks the third straight year that Bowman has been named to one of the three all-star teams. She was a first-team selection the previous two years. Bowman becomes just the seventh Binghamton player to be named an America East all-star three times during her career and the first since Kai Moon from 2018-20.

Bowman heads into the upcoming America East Tournament ranked fifth in the conference in scoring (12.9 ppg.), second in steals (2.0 spg.), is tied for fifth in blocks (1.0 bpg.) and is tied for fourth with 3.4 assists per game. In addition, she tied for eighth in the America East with a .458 field goal percentage.

For her career, Bowman ranks No. 11 all time in Binghamton program history with 1,198 points. She is also No. 15 with 11.5 points per game.

Bowman is just the second Binghamton player to be named to the All-Defensive Team three times during her career, having also been tabbed the previous two years. She joins Alyssa James, who was selected in 2016-18 and who was also the America East Defensive Player of the Year in each of those seasons.

Weltz was named the America East Rookie of the Week four times this season (Nov. 14, Jan. 23, Feb. 6 and Feb. 27). She currently ranks first in the conference with 2.6 steals per game and is second with 4.2 assists per contest. On the national level, Weltz is No. 28 in steals per game.

Against Maine this past Saturday, Weltz turned in a 23-point, 12-rebound performance. In addition, she dished out a career-high 12 assists against UMBC on Feb. 1 and recorded a career-high six steals against UAlbany on Jan. 18.

This marks the first time that Binghamton has posted a pair of All-Defensive Team selections since James and Imani Watkins were chosen in 2018.

Wanzer, meanwhile, was named the America East Rookie of the Week three times this season (Nov. 21, Dec. 5 and Jan. 16). She currently ranks second on the team and No. 12 in the America East with 11.2 points per game.

In addition, Wanzer is also first in the America East with 2.4 three-point field goals per game and second with a .401 field goal percentage. On the national level, Wanzer ranks No. 34 in three-point field goal percentage.

For the season, Wanzer leads the Bearcats with four games scoring at least 20 points. She netted a career-high 26 points against NJIT on Jan. 11, which is the highest total turned in by a Binghamton player this season.

This marks the first time that Binghamton has posted a pair of America East All-Rookie selections since Watkins and Jasmine Sina were honored in 2015.

Binghamton (13-16) is the No. 6 seed heading into the America East Tournament. The Bearcats are at No. 3 Maine on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the quarterfinal round.
