Notre Dame was one of the best teams in the country this season, and now, it’s getting honors reflective of that. There is no greater honor for a college basketball player then the All-American Team named by the Associated Press. The Irish can have double the celebration for that this year as two of there own were named to the team. [autotag]Olivia Miles[/autotag] made the second team, and [autotag]Sonia Citron[/autotag] was named an honorable mention.
We could go over everything they’ve done this season to justify being named to the team, but Irish fans know already. The team isn’t anywhere near as good without them, and the hope is that both will be available for the NCAA Tournament as Miles’ injury status remains uncertain. Citron can do some damage alone, but the team is almost unstoppable when she’s paired with Miles in the backcourt.

This is an improvement for Miles, who was an honorable mention in 2022. Hopefully for Citron, this is the first of three times being named to the team.
