Stephenson earns Player of the Year, Seibel Coach of the Year for Tigers

Yamhill-Carlton snagged both the PacWest Conference Player of the Year and Coach of the Year awards for the 2021 season, with sophomore power forward Hailee Stephenson claiming the former and head coach Nile Seibel earning the latter.

Stephenson routinely recorded double-doubles for the nine-win Tigers. Her versatility in the post helped Y-C dominate league opponents, resulting in the program’s second consecutive conference championship.

Since his hiring in 2016, Seibel has accumulated 61 wins in five seasons with the Tigers. The team is 20-1 in its past 21 matches against PacWest Conference competition.

Y-C earned five all-league selections in 2021, led by Stephenson and Olivia Southard’s first-team honors.

Junior wing Cheyanna Kelly and sophomore guard Alyse Hurley were second team selections, while junior guard Kati Slater was an honorable mention.

Amity’s Ellie McMullen and Cydney Stables were first teamers, Audrey Clark was a second team choice and Megan Scharf was an honorable mention.

For Dayton, Taylor Wilson was first team, while Brooke and Renika Oliveira were second teamers.
