Abbey McNally Earns WBCA NAIA First Team All-American Honors

ATLANTA, Ga. - On Monday, March 24, the Women's Basketball Coaches' Association (WBCA) announced their 2024-25 NAIA All-American honorees. For the fifth-consecutive season, the Knights have been represented on the All-America Team, as Abbey McNally was named to the First Team on Monday.

Abbey McNally enjoyed a record-breaking season with the Knights, as she led Marian to the NAIA National Tournament Quarterfinals and an appearance in the Crossroads League Tournament Championship game. McNally was a force for Marian this season, as she was named both the Crossroads League Player and Defensive Player of the Year. A seven-time winner of the Crossroads League Player of the Week honor, McNally put up career-best numbers across the board, putting up personal best scoring, rebounding, assist, steal, and blocking numbers. 

The Cincinnati, Ohio, native set the Marian single-season scoring record with 680 points, breaking the mark set one season prior by Ella Collier. McNally also broke the single-season rebounding record, grabbing 446 boards to pass Jenna Sullivan's record that was set in the 2017 season. Additionally, McNally became the fourth-player in program history to eclipse 1500 career points, and broke the career rebounding record during the season, best the mark by 33 as she completed the season with 1033 rebounds.

McNally is the first Marian basketball player, men's or women's to record 1500 or more points in a career and 1000 or more rebounds in a career. The junior ended the season ranked fourth all-time in scoring and field goals made, first all-time in rebounding, fifth all-time in blocked shots, and 15th all-time in steals, while also ending the year as the active leader in career field goal percentage. 

McNally joins Imani Guy (2021 and 2022) and Ella Collier (2023 and 2024) as Marian's honorees on the WBCA NAIA All-America Teams. 

The Knights finished their season with a 27-8 overall record, and their fourth consecutive appearance in the NAIA Tournament Quarterfinals.
