FARMINGTON, Utah – The 2021 Big Sky Conference Freshman of the Year is an Eastern Washington Eagle. Maisie Burnham, who was also an All-Big Sky Honorable Mention selection, is just the fifth EWU women’s basketball player in school history to earn the award and the first since 2015.
Burnham showed consistency all year long, playing in 21 games and starting 17. The Spangle, Wash., native who ended her career at Liberty High School as a 2B State Champion and state tournament MVP, led the Eagles with 14.3 points per game at the end of the regular season. That mark is seventh overall in the Big Sky and also the best-ever by a freshman in the program.
Burnham did more than just score as she also ranked second on the team in rebounds with 5.5 per contest.
