The dynamic BYU guard did just that Tuesday.
Gonzales was named WCC co-player of the year alongside Gonzaga's Jenn Wirth, and BYU coach Jeff Judkins earned coach of the year honors in a vote of league coaches announced Tuesday by the conference.
Gonzales' "Big Three" teammates of Lauren Gustin and Paisley Johnson Harding joined the Gilbert, Arizona product as conference first-team selections. Graduate transfer Teegan Graham and senior Sara Hamson were named All-WCC honorable mentions.
It's a group of players with swagger, but also a lethal mentality, be it in scoring, rebounding or defense.
"We have that killer instinct, especially Shaylee Gonzales; that is her," Harding told KSL.com. "I think I have that same instinct. When we're both on the court and as leaders of this team, we'll find a way. I think Teegan has that fighters' mentality, too, and so many girls who have bought into that mentality. Whatever it takes, we're driven to do greatness."
