HIALEAH, Fla. (Feb. 27, 2023) – Florida National University’s women’s basketball team made up a solid portion of the Continental Athletic Conference’s (CAC) All-Conference selections. The awards were announced shortly after day one of the CAC Tournament hosted by Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence, Kansas.

Natalie Larranaga was named to the First Team, and her 63 steals on the season nabbed her the title of Defensive Player of the Year. Larranaga has led FNU in most statistical categories, boasting 18.7 points per contest and 6.7 rebounds. At 5-9, the crafty guard can crash the boards well and overpower oversized forwards in the paint.

Janelisse Marty Marrero was the second Lady Conquistador to earn an All-Conference accolade, playing her way to a Second Team selection. The Puerto Rican native averages a team-high in assists with 3.6. Her recent scoring campaign catapulted her to 12.6 points per contest.
