OXFORD, Ohio- The River States Conference is pleased to announce the selections for the 2026 River States Conference Women's Basketball All-Conference Teams.

As spelled out in River States Conference by-laws, ten players are voted to the first, second, and third teams. The teams are selected via a vote of conference head coaches. Individual awards will be announced by the conference office on Friday.

The RedStorm of the University of Rio Grande, powered by an undefeated record in conference play, led all schools with five overall selections. The RedStorm were the only team in the league to earn three First Team selections in Marlee Grinstead, Allie Ellyson, and Marina Garcia Perez.

Three other schools followed the RedStorm with four total selections, with Brescia University, Indiana University Southeast, and Midway University so represented. Brescia joined Rio Grande with multiple first team picks in Cassidy Morris and Caroline Lucas.

Eleven of the 12 River States Conference schools placed at least one player on the three All-Conference teams, with nine schools earning multiple selections.

Additionally, the RSC is also proud to announce the athletes recognized as their program's Champion of Character. Each team in each River States Conference sponsored sport is asked to nominate one athlete as their Champion of Character. These student-athletes best represent the NAIA’s Champions of Character program and its five core values of Respect, Responsibility, Integrity, Servant Leadership and Sportsmanship.

The 2026 River States Conference Tournament continues Saturday with two semifinal games. Rio Grande will play host to IU Southeast at 2:00 p.m., with Brescia hosting Shawnee State at 3:00 p.m. central. The RSC championship game will be played Tuesday night at the home gym of the highest remaining divisional seed.
