Rylie Bisballe, a standout junior basketball player from Allendale, Michigan, has been named a WBCA Honorable Mention All-American. This recognition adds to her impressive list of accolades this season, which includes being named First-Team All-Region by D2CCA and both the GLIAC Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year.

Bisballe's performance on the court has been exceptional, with an average of 23.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, placing her among the top five in these categories within the GLIAC. She consistently scored in double figures in 27 games, achieving this feat in 23 out of the last 24 games of the season. Notably, she scored over 20 points on five occasions, reaching a career-high of 28 points during a critical victory against Northern Michigan that secured their GLIAC title. In that same game, Bisballe achieved her 1,000th career point milestone, making her the 29th player in program history to do so.

Throughout this year, Bisballe recorded five double-doubles, three of which were during postseason play. Her defensive prowess was evident as she contributed significantly to her team's success as part of the nation's second-best scoring defense by blocking 38 shots and making 40 steals. Additionally, she surpassed the milestone of 500 career rebounds earlier in the season and now has a total of 696 rebounds, just shy of entering the program's top ten for career rebounds.
