ATLANTA, Ga. - The Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCAA) announced the NAIA award winners for the 2023-24 season. Montana Western guard Jordan Sweeney has been named an NAIA Coaches' All-American honorable mention honoree for her efforts in the 2023-24 season.

Sweeney, a 5-7 guard from Oakley, Calif., was previously selected as a Frontier Conference first team all-conference selection after she led the Frontier with 20.6 points per game and 5.4 assists per game. She also joined Montana Western's 1,000 point club after two seasons with the Bulldogs after she dropped 43 points against Rocky Mountain College back on February 24 for a new UMW single game scoring record.

"We congratulate the members of the 2024 WBCA NAIA Coaches' All-America team," said Executive Director Danielle M. Donehew. "These young women have worked to elevate their teams and themselves to an elite level of competition. Through their exceptional talents on the basketball court, they have also lifted the women's game.

Though Sweeney has concluded her playing career with Montana Western, she recently was accepted into the once in a lifetime "So You Want To Be A Coach" program sponsored by the WBCA that will give her the opportunity to learn from the best as a part of the WBCA annual convention that will be held in Cleveland, Ohio — Wednesday, March 29, through Friday, April 5, 2024.
