HELENA, Mont. -- Montana Tech's women's basketball team saw four player land all-conference honors, the Frontier Conference announced Wednesday afternoon with its full slate of postseason awards.

Hadley Humphreys led the way for Tech as a first-team honoree, while teammates Aubrie Rademacher and Liv Wangerin garnered honorable mentions. Macy Mayer landed a spot on the all-defense team.

Humphreys, a junior from Blackfoot, Idaho, leads the Orediggers in points per game (13.2), rebounds per game (5.9), field-goal percentage (49.8), 3-point percentage (39.2), steals (41), and minutes per game (28.3) this season. The transfer from Utah State Eastern collected 60 offensive rebounds to rank third in the Frontier, and she's also in the league's top five in free throws made (73) and field-goal percentage. She earned a pair of Frontier player of the week awards this season, one on offense and another on defense.

Humphreys is just the fourth Oredigger to earn first-team All-Frontier honors in the last decade, joining Tavia Rooney (2022-23), Shay Potter (2017-18), and Martha Dembek (2016-17) on that list.

Rademacher, a senior from Kalispell, averaged 10.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game to earn a second-career honorable mention on the all-league teams. The forward led Tech with 20 blocked shots. She also led the Orediggers and ranked fourth in the conference in free-throw percentage at 83.9 percent.

Wangerin, a junior from Plentywood, also repeated as an honorable mention selection. The versatile guard-forward combo scored 9.2 points per game to go with a rebounding average of 3.7. Her 68 assists top the team leaderboard. It's the first-career all-conference honor for Wangerin.

Mayer, a senior from Bozeman, locked down opponents' top threats all season long for the top defensive team in the conference. She ranked third on the team in rebounds per game (4.7) in addition to 4.4 points per game, 43 assists, and 29 steals.

Carroll College's Kyndall Keller won most valuable player honors, while Rocky Mountain's Gracee Lekvold was named defensive player of the year. Rocky also won three other superlatives — Sydney Dethman garnered the newcomer of the year award, Paige Wasson won freshman of the year, and Wes Keller took coach of the year honors. Montana Western's Trinidie Nichols was voted sixth-player of the year.

Montana Tech (18-11) will hope to hear its name called when the NAIA announces the 2025 national tournament field. The Orediggers were eighth in the latest Area Ratings Committee rankings for the West Region. Selections will be announced live on NAIA.org Thursday at 5 p.m. Mountain time.
