St. Thomas All-Summit League honorees:
Jade Hill (Sr.; Guard; Minneapolis, Minn. / South)
Hill earned postseason honors for the fourth time in her illustrious and impressive career with St. Thomas. A senior guard, Hill appeared and started all 29 games for the Tommies in 2024-25 and ranked top-3 on the team in total points, points per game, assists and steals. Her 14.6 points per game average as a senior ranked second only to Langbehn's 14.9, and Hill closed the regular season with 426 points, 135 assists and 35 steals. Of her 426 points, 225 were scored against Summit League opponents, and Hill ranked top-5 in the conference in both assists/game (5.1) and assist to turnover ratio at the conclusion of the regular season. Entering the Summit League Tournament, Hill ranks fourth all-time in St. Thomas history in career points (1554) and is the program record holder in career assist (469).
Jo Langbehn (Sr.; Forward; Elk River, Minn. / Elk River)
A senior from Elk River, Minnesota, Langbehn earned All-Conference honors for the first time in her Tommie career on Tuesday after being named to the All-Summit League Honorable Mention team. One of the top shooters in the conference, Langbehn consistently either led or ranked second in the conference in field goal percentage, having converted 176 of 276 shots to close the regular season at .638. Because of that, Langbehn was one of the top scorers in the Summit League, averaging 14.9 points after scoring a career-high 433 during the regular season, and was a top-20 rebounder, averaging 5.2 per game. Like Hill, Langbehn made history in 2024-25, becoming the first Tommie in the DI era to score 1000 points and record 500 rebounds.
Amber Scalia (Jr.; Guard; Stillwater, Minn. / Stillwater)
In her third season with St. Thomas, Scalia earned All-Conference Honorable Mention accolades for the second straight year. Once again, Scalia was one of the most dangerous shooters in the conference, averaging 14.6 points per game thanks to .414 shooting from the floor, including a .368 clip from three-point range. Scalia also led the team and Summit League in free throw percentage at the conclusion of the regular season, converting 97 of 115 attempts (.843). As a member of the Tommies dominant backcourt, Scalia ranked second on the team with 88 assists and closed the regular season with an impressive 104 rebounds. She additionally became the third player in the last two seasons to score 1000 career points with St. Thomas, eclipsing the milestone in just 82 games with the program.
Alyssa Sand (Fy.; Forward; Albany, Minn. / Albany)
Sand made headlines in her first season with the Tommies and was named to the Summit League All-Freshman Team at the conclusion of the regular season. A 6'3 forward from Albany, Minnesota, there was plenty of hype surrounding Sand entering her first collegiate season, and she lived up to it. Sand was the only first year to appear in all 29 games for St. Thomas and made 11 starts, all of which were in Summit League play. She averaged 6.0 points per game in her freshman campaign and ranked third on the team with a .508 field goal percentage. Sand was also credited with 128 rebounds, averaging 4.4 per game, 30 steals and 12 blocks. She scored a career-high 15 points at South Dakota on January 9 and pulled in a carerer-high nine rebounds that same game.
