PORTLAND, Ore. (Mar. 1) – Alaska Anchorage junior Vishe' Rabb earned a pair of major honors and senior guard Jahnna Hajdukovich was also recognized Wednesday as the Great Northwest Athletic Conference announced its 2022-23 women's basketball postseason awards.

A 5-9 forward, Rabb was voted First Team All-GNAC and the league's Newcomer of the Year in balloting by the league's 10 head coaches. The Augustana (S.D.) transfer leads the Seawolves (18-9, 10-8 GNAC) with 16.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.0 steals per game, while her .873 free throw percentage currently ranks third-best on UAA's single-season list.

The Springfield, Minn., native has been on a tear since Feb. 9, with four 25-plus scoring efforts in the last six games (23.8 ppg, 43-45 FT) and her third double-double in the win over Saint Martin's (25 pts/10 rebs).

Meanwhile, Hajdukovich was named honorable mention All-GNAC as the second-leading scorer (11.0 ppg) and third-leading rebounder for the Seawolves. The local Dimond High product holds GNAC ranks of 16th in scoring, eighth in three-pointers per game (2.0) and 13th in three-point percentage (.367), posting huge efforts in wins over Western Oregon and William Jewell. The second-generation Seawolf ranks 30th in scoring (813 pts), sixth in threes made (171), 12th in threes per game (1.4), 14th in 3FG% (.361), 11th in games played (121) and 11th in victories (100) on UAA career lists.
