A group of six players lead the 2015 WBCA Division 2 All-State Team as unanimous selections: Abby Gerrits of Pewaukee, Kayla Goth of DeForest, Gabby Green of Pius XI, Natisha Hiedeman of Green Bay Southwest, Jessica Kelliher of Waukesha North, and Sammy Kozlowski of New Berlin Eisenhower.

Gerrits, Goth, and Green are repeat All-State selections from a year ago.

Gerrits helped Pewaukee to an 18-5 overall record this season, averaging 15.9 points per game for head coach Todd Hansen. The 5-9 forward was a First Team choice last year, and an Honorable Mention selection as a freshman.

Goth had DeForest in position for a possible return trip to the WIAA State Tournament before a late-season knee injury ended her career a few games early. Still, she averaged 13.9 points per game for head coach Doug Pickarts as the Norskies finished 21-3.

Green is making a second straight appearance on the WBCA All-State team, and Pius XI is making a second straight appearance at the WIAA State Tournament. The dynamic lead guard averages 15.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 3.9 assists per game for the currently unbeaten Lady Popes.

Hiedeman put up huge numbers in her senior campaign, helping the Trojans to a 19-7 record and fourth place finish in the very strong FRCC. She averaged 25.3 points per game, and her half-court buzzer-beater gave Green Bay Southwest a 52-51 Regional Final win over Pulaski.

Kelliher soared up the state's scoring charts as a senior, averaging 31.8 points per game for Waukesha North. Her single-season total of 763 points places her in the top eight in state history, while her 2,012 career points are in the top 15.

Kozlowski is a deadly long-range shooter for New Berlin Eisenhower, finishing second in the state during the regular season with a 3-point percentage of .482. She averaged 16 points per game for the Lions to go with 3 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per contest.

Madison Blair, a 5-11 senior wing player, helped Waterford to a share of the Southern Lakes title and trip to the Sectional Finals. She averaged 17.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 2.9 assists while connecting on 45.7% of her 3-point attempts during the regular season.

Caitlyn Hibner led a late-season push by Portage that saw the Warriors win eight of their final nine games to finish second in the competitive Badger-North Conference. Along the way the 6-0 junior guard averaged a team-best 17 points per game.

Karly Murphy, a 6-1 junior post player, averaged a double-double for a second straight season, and helped River Falls to a surprising Division 2 State Tournament appearance. She averaged 19.9 points, 14.8 rebounds, and 2 assists per game.

Mariah Szymanski, a 5-6 junior guard, did a little bit of everything for Pulaski, and did it all well. She led the team at 17.8 points per game, shot 79.4% from the free throw line, averaged 4.2 rebounds, and chipped in a team-best 2.7 assists per contest as Pulaski finished 18-6.
