She led Eastern Arizona in scoring throughout the championship run with 72 total points and averaged 18 points per game. She shot 37.3 percent from the field, 33.3 percent from three and 80 percent at the free throw line. Enriquez added 16 rebounds, seven steals and three assists while playing heavy minutes in all four games.

Romero‑Ah Sam, a 5‑foot‑8 guard from Eugene, Oregon and Springfield High School, also earned All‑Tournament Team recognition after providing a steady offensive presence on the perimeter throughout the championship run. She scored 58 points over the four games while shooting 40 percent from the field and 39.4 percent from three‑point range. Romero‑Ah Sam reached double figures in all four contests, including a 19‑point performance in the opening‑round win over Southwestern Illinois.
