Myriama Smith-Traore of Whitewater leads the 2016 WBCA Division 3 Girls All-State Team as a unanimous selection. Kylie Moe of Brodhead, Abby Monis of Lakeside Lutheran, and Katie Stark are repeat selections from a year ago.

Smith-Traore helped the Whippets to a state title in 2015 and a 22-2 overall record this season. The 6-2 junior led the team in scoring at 17.1 points per game, grabbing 15.1 rebounds per contest while recording 5.5 blocks and 3.1 steals as well.

Moe was the champion of the inaugural WIAA 3-Point Challenge last season and guided the Cardinals to a 20-4 mark in her senior campaign. She scored 22.7 points per game this year as one of the state's top shooters, connecting on 87.6% of free throws and 38.2% of attempts beyond the arc, adding 8.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 4 steals per game.

Monis is a three-year varsity standout who put together an outstanding senior season, averaging a team-best 17.6 points and 8.7 rebounds per contest. An all-around player, the 6-2 Maryville University commit added 1.2 assists, 2.0 steals, and 1.6 blocks per game as the Warriors finished 20-4.

Stark has helped the Hurricanes to a second consecutive state tournament appearance, as Hayward takes a 25-1 record into the Resch Center. Signed with Division 2 Minnesota-Duluth, the 5-11 forward led the team with 17.3 points and 6.0 rebounds per game.

Kelsey Bakken of Marshall was an Honorable Mention pick last year, but earned First Team recognition after leading the Cardinals to an unbeaten regular season and 24-1 overall record. The 5-9 senior led the team in scoring at 15.0 points per game as well as rebounding at 7.7 per contest.

Tori Martell of Somerset was one of the state's most prolific scorers, averaging 23.7 points per game, connecting on 55 of 141 three-point attempts (39%). The 5-7 junior guard helped Somerset to a perfect regular season mark and 23-1 overall record, and is committed to Division 1 Montana State.

Estella Moschkau of Madison Edgewood helped the Crusaders take advantage of a very challenge regular season schedule to advance all the way to the Division 3 state semi-finals. A 6-2 swing player, the junior averaged 19.3 points and 6.8 rebounds per game for head coach Lora Staveness.

Erin Powers of Xavier has the Hawks back at the state tournament as they try to improve upon last season's runner-up finish. The senior averaged 13.9 points per game for the team this year.

Lexi Smith of Northland Pines finished second in the state amongst all players, averaging 28.2 points per game as just a junior. The 5-10 junior wing added better than 10 rebounds per game to go with 3.1 assists, 4.2 steals, and 1.3 blocks.

Jaden Ward of Wisconsin Dells helped the Chiefs to an outright South Central Conference title and 20-4 overall record this season. Committed to Division 1 Quinnipiac University, she poured in more than 22 points per game in her senior season.
