Four Cyclone players were honored by the Big 12 for their performances over the 2009–’10 season. Iowa State’s Alison Lacey was a unanimous selection to the All-Big 12 First Team and junior guard Kelsey Bolte was chosen as an All-Big 12 Honorable Mention member. Senior guard Denae Stuckey was selected for the Big 12 All-Defensive Team and freshman post Anna Prins made the list of the Big 12 All-Freshman Team.

Lacey, Iowa State’s senior point guard, averaged 16.5 points per game, which ranked seventh in the Big 12. Lacey also finished second in the conference in assists, with an average of 6.30 per game, just .43 per game behind leading Oklahoma State’s Andrea Riley’s average.

Lacey was the leader in the Big 12 in free throw percentage, finishing with an .889 clip. The Canberra, Australia, native also led the conference in assist-to-turnover ratio, at 3.21, topping the charts by a landslide, with the next closest Big 12 player at 2.32.

Not only did Lacey’s staggering ratio lead the Big 12, but also she currently leads the nation in what coach Bill Fennelly has referred to before as a “ridiculous” assist-to-turnover ratio.

Along with steering the Cyclone ship offensively, Lacey made an impact on the defensive end, with a team-high 37 steals thus far, and a team-high 114 defensive rebounds on the season.

Kelsey Bolte stepped into a new role this year, becoming an even bigger key player for Iowa State. Bolte averaged 12.6 points per game, ranking second on the Cyclone roster, and was a constant threat from beyond the arc this season. Bolte scored 76 3-pointers, which ranks second in the Big 12 for the season.

Stuckey’s aggressiveness on the floor is always apparent, and her 37 steals tied Lacey’s number on the season for the highest at Iowa State. Stuckey has pulled down 102 defensive rebounds this season, which ranks fourth for Iowa State, even though Stuckey stands at just 5 feet 8 inches.

Standing at a towering 6 feet 7 inches, it’s easy to pick Prins out of a crowd, but her performance this season as a freshman made her even more of a standout. Prins pulled down an average of 3.9 rebounds per game and scored nine points per game on average. The Broomfield, Colo., native has led Iowa State in blocks with 22 this season.
