INDIANAPOLIS – UIndy's Patricia Chikamba earned 2025-26 second team All-GLVC honors, the league office announced on Wednesday.
 
This is the second consecutive year that Chikamba has captured second team honors. Her final year with the program saw her notch her second straight season averaging 14 plus points and five plus rebounds. She reached double figures 19 times this season, including eight times in her final 10 outings of the season. Her two best performances on the season came when she scored 24 points against Purdue Northwest and McKendree. 

The All-Conference awards are nominated and voted on by league coaches, who, per GLVC Bylaws, are not permitted to vote for their own players.
 
Amyrah Sapenter also earned the sport's GLVC James R. Spalding Sportsmanship Award, which includes 15 student-athletes who have distinguished themselves through sportsmanship and ethical behavior this season. These individuals must be in good academic standing and have demonstrated good citizenship outside of the sports-competition setting. The honorees from full-time GLVC member institutions are now eligible to become one of their school's two Spalding Sportsmanship Award winners, which will be announced at the end of the academic year.
